Hi All,

I’ve followed a flash preloader tutorial word by word online for AS2.

The main bulk of the AS code is:

stop();  
loaderInt = setInterval (Lbar, 10);  
function Lbar () {  
if (getBytesLoaded () \>= getBytesTotal ()) {  
play();  
clearInterval (loaderInt);  
}  
fill\_MC.\_xscale = (getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal ()\*100);  
}

With fill\_MC being my pre-loader bar. I’ve checked the instance name a hundred times but to no avail, it just wont register the loading. You can see for yourself if you kindly navigate to [http://www.dariomemarian.com/sitedevelopment.html](http://www.dariomemarian.com/sitedevelopment.html) and then click on magazine. Either the movie won’t play at all or you get a flash of the preloader and then the supposed pre-loaded jittery movie plays. The movie clip it self is a image sequence of jpegs.
