help!

i have a movie (called movie1).  
this contains an MC (called “ranimageMC”) that is a random image loader from an array:

[COLOR=Red]pic\_arr = [“images/01”, “images/02”, “images/03”, “images/04”, “images/05”, “images/06”, “images/06”, “images/07”, “images/08”, “images/09”, “images/10”;  
ranNum = Math.floor(Math.random()\*pic\_arr.length);  
ranimag.loadMovie(pic\_arr[ranNum]+".jpg");

[COLOR=Black]i have a movie2 which movie1 is loaded into. movie2 has a preloader for movie1 but it reveals too early as the random image isn’t fully loaded. I think the code i need to put in needs to go in here somewhere but i’m stuck:

[COLOR=Red]onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
if (!loaded && this.\_url != \_root.\_url) {  
if (this.getBytesLoaded() == this.getBytesTotal()) {  
loaded = true;  
\_root.transition.gotoAndPlay(“opening”);  
}  
}  
}

thanks
