I finally got a preloader to work to find out that it had stuffed around with the other scenes in my flash website, made buttons stop working, navigation going to wrong places! This is the preloader tutorial here…

The way i did this was to put 2 frames in front of my 3rd frame (the start of my movie) but then it totally mucked around with scripting throughout strange.
So what im asking people who are reading this, could you help me alter the script so i have the preloader in its own scene at the start?
I have named the scene “preloader” and Scene 1, 1 is where my whole website will start.
I have tried replacing this part
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}
with
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
this.gotoAndPlay(“Scene 1”, 1);
}
and
this.gotoAndPlay(1);
with
this.gotoAndPlay(“preloader”, 1);
And now all i have is this (click enter)http://internet.design.curtin.edu/students/interactive/12036783/
the loader stays on 3% and the bar doesnt move lol… but the movie still ends up loading even though the bar doesnt move.
Thanks in advance, as you can probably guess ive only learnt flash for about 5 weeks for a uni project and my teacher doesnt even know how to troubleshoot
