I have a slight problem, as soon my external preloader is at 100% my final .swf file does not start on frame 1 (its as if it runs in the background independently). Is there anyway that i can make my .swf start on frame 1 when the preloader has completed?

As u can see i’m a newbie in Flash CS3, anyhelp u can give would be appreciated, thank you.
