Hey guys,

I’m building a flash based site for my photography in Flash CS3 with actionscript 2. The swf is almost 700kb so I guess I’ll need a preloader right?

I thought I could create a preloader scene before the main content scene and apply the following code to the single frame within the preloader:

Code:

```auto
ifFrameLoaded ("website", 3){
gotoAndPlay ("website", 1);
}

```

Am I doing something wrong? This doesn’t seem to work as the large images in my gallery (contained within a movie clip) won’t load unless you leave the gallery page then go back in… weird huh?

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers,  
Al
