Preload troubles

programming flash
1

Hey guys,

Im using the AS3 preloader code from kirupa’s tutorial and I am having a problem. The preloader works fine, but the movie I am loading has a animation to play (like an intro). Here is the problem:
When the preloader is loading, somehow the movie plays before it is fully loaded… How can I code my flash movie to wait for the swf to fully load to play???

here is my code:


var imageLoader:Loader;

function loadImage(url:String):void {
	// Show Preloader
	preloader.visible = true;
	
	// Set properties on my Loader object
	imageLoader = new Loader();
	imageLoader.load(new URLRequest(url));
	imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, imageLoading);
	imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
}
loadImage("swf/main.swf");

function imageLoaded(e:Event):void {
	// Load Image
	mainArea.addChild(imageLoader);
	
	// Hide Preloader
	preloader.visible = false;
	load_mc.visible = false;
}

function imageLoading(e:ProgressEvent):void {
	// Get current download progress
	var loaded:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
	
	// Send progress info to "preloader" movie clip
	preloader.SetProgress(loaded);
}
