I’ building a Full flash site which a gallery for a set of illustations

At the moment I’ve constructed it in the following way, I’ve used scenes

A main scene with buttons to each of the other scenes. Then each scene has a forward and back button to so the user can look through the scenes consecutativly.

The main scene has a preloader with the following code

bytes\_loaded = Math.round(\_root.getBytesLoaded());  
bytes\_total = Math.round(\_root.getBytesTotal());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
\_root.loadBar.\_width = getPercent_100;  
\_root.loadText = Math.round(getPercent_100)+"%";  
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total) {  
\_root.gotoAndStop(3);

}

on frame 3 of the main scene are the buttons with gotoAndPlay action to the rest of the scenes.

My problem is that when I go into the other scene and try and go backwards and forwards between scenes it’s slow and sluggish.

Does this preloader script just load the main scene ? or all the scenes in the movie ?  
Do I need to put preloaders between the scenes, if so how ?

Hope that make sence !!!

Cheers
