I'm having problems with the preloader for my flash site. The site 470 frames long and I've set an animated spinner with 'Loading' as text on the first frame. I've coded that frame:

ifFrameLoaded (470) {
gotoAndPlay(10);
}

(frame 10 is the first frame of the site)

However, it spins but the movie starts before it's all loaded so that if you try to jump to a section down the list to the left it only jumps to the frame that's currently loaded, ie in frame order. This obviously only happens when the cache is emptied. Can anyone help?

(I'm not allowed to post a link to my site as I've just joined! My site is www jamestye com)

Many thanks

It's hard to say something concrete without seeing source FLA.

Look at these tuts (God bless Kirupa)
