hello, this was probably asked before. but i cant seem to form a search term to search for this.

i have a preloader.

1 problem is it doesnt show the progress right. it just stays on one number and then loads the movie.

2nd problem is say the movie was loaded i refresh the page preloader still comes up. i mean the movie’s already loaded why cant it skip the preloader?

code is  
Code:  
LOADED = Math.round(getBytesLoaded());  
TOTAL = Math.round(getBytesTotal());

if (LOADED \>= TOTAL)  
{  
GoToAndPlay(“main”,1);  
}else{  
percent = LOADED / TOTAL \* 100 + ‘%’;  
GotoAndPlay(1);  
}  
if you could help

thank you
