Preloader Problems: Newbie

[031179]

Hi

I'm having lots of problems trying to apply a preloader to the following site:
http://www.publishingme.com/niaomh/index.html

I have tried different websites and tutorials but no luck. Presently the code stands at:

if (_root.getBytesLoaded() ==_root.getBytesTotal())
{**
_root.gotoAndPlay(5);
}

but nothing. I have also tried:

if (_root.getBytesLoaded() ==_root.getBytesTotal())
{**
_root.gotoAndPlay(5);
}
else
{
gotoAndPlay(1);
}


Nothing again.
I have set the animation on frame 1
the actionscript on frame 2
the site begins on frame 5.

Any advice much appreciated as chaos reigns at the mo.
Cheers

I did use samples from a site previously but can not remember at the moment, If I find it anytime soon will let you know.

Good luck
