I am trying to use the preloader component (components set 2) within flash mx. The code I have so far is:
The preloader has the instance pre\_load\_pic1.
\_root.pre\_load\_pic1.setLoadTarget(“pic1.jpg”);
\_root.pre\_load\_pic1.setChangeHandler(load\_pic1);
\_root.hit2.onPress = function() {
myInterval = setInterval(load\_pic1, 100);
};
function load\_pic1() {
if (pre\_load\_pic1.getPercentComplete()\>=99) {
loadMovie(“pic1.jpg”, \_root.holder);
clearInterval(myInterval);
}
}
Unfortunately the preload bar does nowt even though the jpeg does load into the browser.
Can anyone help out?

setChangeHandler takes a string as a parameter. Try
```auto
_root.pre_load_pic1.setChangeHandler("load_pic1");
```
pom 🙂
