Hi,  
I have an swf file within another swf file and I need them both to preload at the same time. Right now, my main swf file is getting preloaded… but the swf file in it is not…

This is the code I am using right now.

totalBytes = Math.round(\_root.getBytesTotal() / 1024);  
loadedBytes = Math.round(\_root.getBytesLoaded() / 1024);  
percentDone = Math.round((\_root.loadedBytes / totalBytes) \* 100);  
if (\_root.\_framesloaded \>= \_root.\_totalframes) {  
gotoAndPlay(“start”);  
}

and in the frame that I called “start” I have the script

loadmovienum (“scene 1”, 1); 😑😑
