Preloader Problem with Cached Site

i have a preloader set up like this

frame 1
if (_framesLoaded ==_totalframes) {
gotoAndStop(3);
}
frame 2
gotoAndPlay(1);

my problem is this..the preloader works fine the 1st time through..but than
the next time someone trys to access the page from the same computer...it gets
stuck in the preloader indefinatly. the reason is, the site is being cached on
the computer..so that after the 1st load it doesnt load again,,so my script
which needs it to load 3 frames isn't seing it load any,,and the site just
stays on the preloader...

how should i modify my action script so that it doesnt do this??

It still gets loaded regardless of whether it is from the net or the cache.
What action is triggering the load of the SWF? Is it loading as a movie or a
movie clip? If you are using MX 2004, at the very least you should get rid of
the capital letters (and try >= instead of ==): if (_framesloaded
>=_totalframes) { gotoAndStop(3); } frame 2 gotoAndPlay(1); but it would help
to know under which context you are having problems loading the movie (and
where this script is located).
