I’ve got a three scene movie, with the first scene dedicated to the pre loader and the rest of the scenes are parts one and two of the movie. For the pre loader I have a movie clip of a little character running in place while it says loading below and it’s just two layers, one frame. I want it to play that movie clip until the whole movie (all 3 scenes) are loaded, then I want it to go to the first frame of scene 3. My script looks like this:

if (\_framesloaded\>=\_totalframes) {  
gotoAndPlay(“scene 3”, 1);  
} else {  
stop();  
}

I checked for syntax error, but nothing came up. It just skips straight over the preloader and into the unloaded movie. I know Im messing it up. Can someone please help me?! Thank you so much!
