For a preloader where an 100 frames movie advances as it loads, I used these actions:

stop();  
onEnterFrame = function ()  
{totalBytes = \_root.getBytesTotal();  
loadedBytes = \_root.getBytesLoaded();  
percent = Math.ceil((loadedBytes/totalBytes)\*100);  
\_root.\<\<the instance\>\>.gotoAndStop(percent);  
if (percent=100)  
{play();  
}  
};

If there’s a stop action in a later frame, it is ignored. If I use gotoAndStop(x) instead, if there’s a play button at that frame, it won’t work. What should I do?
