Preloader issues

[Scott_Holley]

Hello all, a wee problem here.
In my portfolio I have a main flash movie of opening and closing doors. This main movie is supposed to load other flash movies (resume.swf, contact.swf, ect) under these doors.

When going from section to section, the doors close, then open on a new section. The problem is, my preloader isn't working. The doors don't wait until the swf under them is loaded, and open prematurely. You can see what I mean at

Here is my code for the preloader frame one

// This loads the movie "MyResume.swf" into a movie clip called "Contentclip"
loadMovie(MyResume.swf, "ContentClip");

// This pauses (or it SHOULD) everything until MyResume.swf is fully loaded
if (ContentClip._framesloaded = 8) {
gotoAndPlay(3);
}

Here is my code for the preloader frame two
gotoAndPlay(1);

Can anyone tell me why this isn't working?

Put the preloader code in the first two frames of MyResume.fla.

In frame 1.

ifFrameloaded(8) {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}

In frame 2.

this.gotoAndPlay (1);
