I’m sure this is a very simple problem, but I’m not terribly well-versed in preloaders.

The preloader I have on my site right now works perfectly on the main page, but not on my portfolio page. I broke down my site into 2 parts because the portfolio is large.

Basically, on the first site, it loads 100% before moving on. On the portfolio, it loads about 45kb and then bounces you right into the following frames.

The preloader is a one-frame movie clip in frame 1 of my first scene. I looked at the actions on the 3 layers inside it - text, bar, background. On the preloader’s “background”:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (\_parent.doneLoading == 760) {  
total = \_parent.\_parent.getBytesTotal();  
isloaded = \_parent.\_parent.getBytesLoaded();  
p = 100\*(isLoaded/total);  
\_parent.bytes = int(isloaded/1000) add " KB of " add int(total/1000) add " KB";  
\_parent.percent = int§ add “% LOADED”;  
\_parent.bar.\_xscale = p;  
if (Number§\>Number(95)) {  
\_parent.\_parent.gotoAndPlay(Number(2));  
\_parent.gotoAndStop(“off”)  
\_parent.doneLoading = 1;  
} else {  
\_parent.\_parent.gotoAndPlay(Number(1));  
}  
}  
}

On the preloader’s “text”:

doneLoading = 0  
stop()
