Hey. I’ve having trouble with a preloader in my swf.  
It hangs up, so it doesn’t play frame 5, just playing the preload animation forever.

Frame 1:

```auto
ifFrameLoaded(5){
	gotoAndPlay(5);
} 

```

Frame 2:

```auto
gotoAndPlay(1);

```

In frame 5 I have some MCs. So Frame 5 is the last one in the file.

I’ve never experienced trouble with this code before, so I suspect that it is something with the CMS I’ve used to insert it in.

```auto

```

Any clues? I’m stuck!  
Thanks in advance!
