I have a really big problem. So in my movie there is a box animation kind of thing where a box expands its width and then on the 20th frame a preloader comes in. I used the preloader from the flash MX tutorial. (Preloader w/ loadBar) The problem is when I play the whole thing it does not show the preloader playing. I did some experimentation and learnt that the preloader only works when its on Frame 1 and not when its on any other frame. It just gets skipped or something. I do not know why this is happening. Please help me. I have to change the code or something. The original code is:

getBytesLoaded  
getBytesTotal  
if (getBytesLoaded=getBytesTotal) {gotoAndPlay (22)  
}

(Thats on frame 20)

and on frame 21 it says this.gotoAndPlay (20)

Ok thats all. Please help as fast as u can.
