you can control it normally, but you just need to wait for it to actually load first…

i just told you how 🙂 MovieClip.getBytesLoaded would give the amount currently loaded, and MovieClip.getBytesTotal would give you the size of the whole movie. replace MovieClip with the name of the clip you’re loading to…
