Hi guys,  
i can’t figer out how to “gotoAndPlay” some section in a movieclip when it still being preloaded.

STRUCTURE:

\_root - (30Frames all together)

on a frame 12 \> i have a movieclip called “blabla”(on the root i have stop(); function), this movieClip contains preloader on first 30 frames and than has another 5 sections. it actually contains all pictures and data.

What i am trying to do is when the first 30 frames of this movieClip are loaded i want to gotoAndPlay section “preloaderIn” and show the progress of the preloading. I have tried everything, used \_framesloaded \> 30 do… or getBytesLoaded \> “some size” do… but it doesn’t work, it always goes to that section after whole movieclip is loaded. is there any way to do it??
