Loading First Scene

[okworldwide]

Hello Board,

My site has an intro animation which is pretty big so I've made a preloader for it. I'd like for this preloader to play only as long as it takes to load the 'Intro' scene, then for the intro scene to play. After that, I'd like to have a preloader play for the main site and once that's loaded, then it would go onto the next scene.
My main question here is how do I have the first preloader, the 'Intro' preloader, wait 'til just the 'Intro' scene has loaded and not wait for the entire flash site to download?

Just make your intro a seperate movie, which when preloaded, will play, and then at the end of it will load the main movie, replacing the intro in the browser window.

stop();
loadMovieNum("main.swf", 0);

...On the last frame(keyframe) of your intro.
