Here is what I want to do.

I have a button with this action script.  
on (release) {  
label = “profile”;  
\_root.door.closedoor();  
}

and at the end of the “door” movie clip, I have this action script.

label = \_root.label;  
\_root.gotoAndStop(label);  
//I guess I put if statement here.  
this.gotoAndPlay(“open”);

So, after this, it goes to the label that is specified.  
When it goes there, there is an action to load another movie.

loadMovie(“profile.swf”, “loadprofile”);

Here, I want to put a preloader.  
I put the preloader in the movie that gets loaded, but it doesn’t look right.  
So I want to put the preloader before the door opens up.  
when the movie is loaded, I want the door to open up.  
"if profile.swf is being loaded, stop. when the profile.swf is loaded, this.gotoAndPlay(“open)”;  
if I describe, it is like this. (sorry, I don’t know anything about action script!!)

I attached a swf file.  
I couldn’t attach a .fla movie because it was too big. If you think you can help me, I will be happy to send the file to you.

thanks!!
