okay i have a scen named preload, and i want it to load an external .swf, but once it’s done doing so to move on to frame two so far i have

- 

## stop(); \_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,1); container.loadMovie(“01.swf”); container.\_x = container.\_y = 0 ; if (this.getBytesLoaded() == this.getBytesTotal()) { \_root.play(“preloader”, 2); } else { gotoAndPlay(“preloader”, 1);

and this doesn’t work, i think my problem is the “if(this.getBytesLoaded()” but i am not sure how to identify if the movie is loaded, maybe with true and false? but i am not sure how i would do that, help pretty please?
