var objLoader:Loader = new Loader();  
var objFileToLoad:URLRequest = new  
URLRequest(“[http://people.mozilla.com/~faaborg/files/20061210-newCar/newCar.jpg\_large.jpg](http://people.mozilla.com/~faaborg/files/20061210-newCar/newCar.jpg_large.jpg)”);

objLoader.load (objFileToLoad);  
objLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.INIT, imageLoaded);  
objLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, showProgress);

function imageLoaded ($event:Event):void {  
this.addChild (objLoader);  
}  
function showProgress ($event:ProgressEvent):void {  
trace (Math.round(($event.bytesLoaded / $event.bytesTotal) \* 100) + " percent loaded so far…");  
}

trace (objLoader.hasEventListener(Event.INIT));
