Having problems preloading an image

[Unit9]

Hi all,

I’m trying to preload an image into a clip and then have it run an animation with the image after it’s preloaded. This is the code that I’m using within the clip containing the image (FLA attached):

---

frame 1:
this.loadMovie(“image1.jpg”,1);

frame3:
if ( this.getBytesLoaded == this.getBytesTotal && this.getBytesTotal > 0 ) {
// If the movie has fully loaded then go to and play the image animation in the parent clip, and also goto and stop at the next frame
_parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
this.gotoAndStop(4);
// If the movie hasn’t fully loaded
} else {
// Then go back to frame 1 and play from frame 1 to check again
this.gotoAndPlay(1);
}

Can anyone tell me how I can get this to work?

Note: If the image preloaded correctly, it should fade out once it’s loaded.

Cheers.
