I have this preloader code that should not play frame 3 until it is all loaded, but for some reason while my prelaoder bar is showing progess, frame 3 is already loaded. Can anyone tell me why? Here is my code below:

//frame 1:

bytes\_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());  
bytes\_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
this.loadBar.\_width = getPercent_580;  
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent_100)+"%";  
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(3);  
}

//frame 2:

gotoAndPlay(1);
