I have an interactive flash application that I’m building, but it’s gotten kinda large (~200k) because of one large png file. So, I want to build a preloader for it, but I seem to have some difficulty getting it to a) stop looping back to scene 1, or b) look good if I use stop();

for some reason, the folowing scene’s moving elements look crappy if I use stop(); in it’s first frame in order to stop it from going back.

I don’t want scene 1 to continuously reappear, but stop messes with the moving elements in scene 2.

Any novel suggestions? Thanks in advance for even reading this.
