ok so the preloader works but it does make the percentage bar move…
here is the code i am using on the 1st frame… placed on the percentage bar movie
loadedbytes = \_root.getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes = \_root.getBytesTotal();
loadedkbytes = Math.ceil(loadedbytes/1000);
totalkbytes = Math.ceil(totalbytes/1000);
if (loadedbytes == totalbytes) {
\_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
} else {
\_root.gotoAndStop(1);
}
frame = int(loadedbytes/(totalbytes/100));
tellTarget (\_root.loader) {
gotoAndStop(\_root.frame);
}
why doesn’t this work… i adapted this code for a similar preload from one of the kirupa tutorials
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
var bytes = \_root.getBytesTotal();
var bytes\_loaded = \_root.getBytesLoaded();
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes) {
\_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
this.kirupatxt = “movie loaded”;
} else {
\_root.gotoAndStop(1);
this.kirupatxt = “loading (”+bytes\_loaded+"/"+bytes+")";
}
}

I think this should work[AS]loadedbytes = getBytesLoaded();
totalbytes = getBytesTotal();
loadedkbytes = Math.ceil(loadedbytes/1024);
totalkbytes = Math.ceil(totalbytes/1024);
if (loadedbytes == totalbytes) {
gotoAndPlay(3);
}else{
frame = int(loadedbytes/(totalbytes/100));
loader.gotoAndStop(frame);
}
[/AS]and on your second frame[AS]gotoAndPlay(1);[/AS]:-\
