Getting apreloader to work from inside a movieclip

programming flash

Hi all,

I have a problem with a preloader on my site. Basically I have a movieclip that contains my preloader on the main timeline. My question is how do I get the preloader to work, despite it being inside a movie clip? At the moment, when I test the movie, it totally bypasses the preloader frames.

I have attached the code that is currently on my preloader.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers

lBytes = getBytesLoaded();
tBytes = getBytesTotal();

percentLoaded = Math.floor((lBytes/tBytes)*100);

loader.bar._yscale = percentLoaded;

loader.percent.text = percentLoaded + “%”;

if (lBytes>=tBytes && tBytes>0) {

if (count>=12) {
gotoAndPlay(“start”);

} else {
count++;
gotoAndPlay(“preload”);
}
} else {
gotoAndPlay(“preload”);
}
