Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding to the preloader for loading the main scene using AS3,  
I already searched on the internet but I couldn’t find the information I need.

I have a scene that is already done, and there’re interactions in it. This scene is  
linked to a document class main.as. Now I want to have a preloader for this whole scene.

I tried to make a new file and load the swf externally, but the interactions won’t work that  
way. Then I tried to put some code I found on the internet in the main.as, still there’s error  
saying that  
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method gotoAndStop through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject

What it the best way of doing this?  
Thank you.
