This should be very easy for most of you

im trying to load one swf with its own preloader, wait till its loaded then load another.

i was going to load it like this, with nested if statments:

preloader\_mc.loadMovie(“img1.swf”,90);  
if(preloader\_mc.getBytesLoaded() == preloader\_mc.getBytesTotal()){  
preloader\_mc.loadMovie(“img2.swf”,90);  
}

but i cant seem to get it to work.

trace(preloader\_mc.getBytesLoaded()) returns 4  
trace(preloader\_mc.getBytesTotal()) returns 4

before it loads the first swf, so it fails right off the bat.  
can someone help me. im in kinda of a bind.
