Flash preloader

Hi, I'm new to Flash. I made a simple preloader for my movie using ifframeloaded tag and goto tag. However, whenever I try to load the .swf file (after I uploaded it), it says downloading instead of displaying the preloader and jumps straight to the main movie (which is huge and takes a long time to load)when finished downloaded. How to fix this?

what is the code you are using for the if framesloaded?

and what do you mean..'it says downloading instead of displaying the preloader'..

Hi..need a bit more info..you can reply in the panel below..and click 'submit'.
I asked about the downloading thing as generally this is what we put in the preloader..so I was thinking maybe your preloader was showing..(or at least the text in it)..but maybe not an animation that you put there.

and the code for the preload is critical in making it work and if I could see what you used..we can at least eliminate that as the cause..if it is correct..or not if it isn't:)

sorry for the late reply...I can't load up this page for some reason. Anyway, I don't see the preloader animation, just the last frame. The code is generally goes like:

IfFrameLoaded ("scene1",37){
gotoandplay ("preloader","20per")}

otherwise...

gotoandplay ("preloader", "10per") in another keyframe.

I divided the preloader in 10% interval (label 10per, 20per, etc...) until 100% is loaded it goes to scene1 frame 1 and play.
