Added pre-loader and movie doesn't play- if/then script problem?

[forttrell]

I have modified two different flash files I found at flashkit to make a wedding date movie for my wedding website (yeah- I'm a dork). But it took so long to load I looked for a preloader and added that. The loader runs fine and when I check the scene with my date movie that runs fine too. But when placed online it doesn't go from the preloader to the movie correctly. It's like it goes to the first frame and stops. Hope someone can help. When it works right I'll post it so others can use it. Hope someone can help me.

After playing with this for hours I see that both "play" and "loop" are checked in the Flash player. When you uncheck one it goes into the next scene just fine.

I'm using the basic version of Flash 8.

Your first problem was that you published in the wrong player.
Second you should use a simple preloader, such as:

stop();
onEnterFrame = function(){
	if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()){
		delete onEnterFrame;
		play();
	}
}

Your file is heavly loaded down, it comes from the snow FXs you should look at some action script that can do the same thing with well over half the file size
