I created a simple preload and it isn’t working. Here is the code: for the first frame:

bytes\_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());  
bytes\_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
this.loadBar.\_width = getPercent_100;  
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent_100)+"%";  
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(“Scene 1”,480);  
}

And for the second frame:

this.gotoAndPlay(“preloader”,1);

I made the preloader movie as a separate scene called “preloader”.  
Does anyone out there know if this code is correct? I tried to test it, and it I can’t see the preload movie. I selected under the “view” menu - simulate download, so as to be able to see the preloader, but no luck! Thanks in advance.
