Preloader causes trouble in other scene

Question

Hello..
I have a flash file with 2 scene..
1 scene - loader
2 scene - main
When i test the scene "main" (deleted the scene "loader" from
my file) it works perfectly with the animations i have given it.
But when I add the scene "loader", the "main" scene doesn't load
completely..
Only with scene 2 "main"
Scene
Main
Scene 1 and 2 "loader" and "main"
Scene
Loder and Main
code i used for the preloader
quote:
stop();
myInterval = setInterval(preloader, 100);
function preloader(){
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() >= _root.getBytesTotal() ){
gotoAndStop("main", 1);
clearInterval(myInterval);
Any idea what this could be??
Thank you

First, you are using references to "scenes" for action script
navigation (you should use frame labels). Also, you have a
gotoAndStop to frame 1 of that scene. Depending on how other
symbols are on this time line, and since you told it to stop on
frame 1, flash may not have had time to initialize other symbols
before the play head stopped. I've come across this before - it's
hard to explain, but under certain circumstances it can happen. Is
there only one frame on the "main" scene? If so, try extending that
time line to 2 frames and place a stop action on frame 2, and
change your preloader script to gotoAndPlay("frameLabel"); - you
will need to label the first frame of the "main" scene with
something and replace "frameLabel". Do you place your actions on
the top-most layer, and in your publish settings, under the flash
tab, what is the load order?
