Preloader not working correctly

[nbarone]

Hi, I am working on a website and I would like it to have a preloader.
This website is scripted using Flash CS3 and AS2.

There are two scenes, one is "preloader" the other is "tsh". Problem is, the swf file does not display while it loads, then after it loads it displays the preloader for a second and jumps right into the next scene. How can I make it load the preloader scene first, then preload the "tsh" scene?

- I have put this code into "preloader"

Frame 1:

var loaded:Number = Math.round ((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100);
mc_slider._x = -500 + (loaded*5);
txt_percent.text = loaded + "%";
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() == _root.getBytesTotal()){
	gotoAndPlay(3);
	trace('done');
}

Frame 2:

gotoAndPlay(1);

Frame 6: (animation between 3-6)

gotoAndPlay("tsh", 1);

The website is currently online at http://thensomethinghappened.com

This should help.

Thanks again! This worked just how I had imagined it. Had to switch around a few _root declarations but that's about it, Thanks!
