I’ve tried taking out my loadmovie actions, all of my components… all that is left are a whole bunch of image sequences and jpegs. Has anyone run into this problem/know how to fix this?

## thanks!

code for preloader:  
frame1-

totalBytes = this.getBytesTotal();  
loadedBytes = this.getBytesLoaded();  
remainingBytes = totalBytes - loadedBytes  
percentDone = int((loadedBytes/totalBytes)\*100);  
bar.gotoAndStop(percentDone);  
if (\_framesloaded == \_totalframes) {  
gotoAndPlay(3);  
}

frame2-

gotoAndPlay(1);
