frame1
loadMovie("1.jpg", "content");

frame2
actBytes = content.getBytesLoaded();
totBytes = content.getBytesTotal();
percent = actBytes / totBytes * 100;
loada._xscale = percent;

frame3
gotoAndPlay(2);


Well, It dosnt work. I *THINK* the problem is, MX will not goto the second frame until it has finished loading the 'content(being a jpg)' into the clip... Therfore will not progress the bar..

I think thats the issue because it only goes to the second frame once it pops up the picture (fully loaded)


any ideas?

hmm.. It seems like even with "export in first frame" off, it dosnt work. Perhaps this is because I set this on the MOVIE its loading into, rather the graphic itself (which i cannot do.)

If you look at my website you will notice that I have a preloader that goes everytime an image is loaded. This is my code.

I load an image to a mc on the main timeline:

_root.image.loadMovie("myimage.jpg");

This is the code for my preloader.
percent is a dynamic text box.

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
percent = (Math.floor (_root.image.getBytesLoaded() / _root.image.getBytesTotal() *100)+"%");
}

I hope this helps.

hello there,

can the preloader script and loadMovie script be contained on the same frame along with the percent text and image movie clip?
