I'm just using a simple preloader right now as I'm trying to make it work!

My problem is, I have created a page with a movie clip, and I need a preloader for it. I made a new scene for the preloader and put it in front of the movie clip scene. I put the text 'loading' on it (no animation), and in frame 1 of the preloader scene I put the script:

ifFrameLoaded("movie", 1){
gotoAndPlay("movie", 1)
}

There is only 1 frame in the main timeline of the movie clip as there are several buttons which animate that each have their own timeline. (You know, when you double click on them and their timeline replaces the main one...)

Anyway, when I tested the whole thing, the preloader works fine and the movie scene pops up, but none of the animations move! (the buttons do work still though).

Any ideas? Have I put the wrong frame numbers down?
thanks.
