HELP!

I’ve built a Preloader using the MovieClipLoader to load an external .swf into a blank container on another page.

the problem I am having is that the movie will begin to play before it’s loaded and before the preloader has completed. I cannot for the life of me figure out why the movie doesn’t wait to play until the whole swf has download. Please HELP, I would be very grateful.

here’s the action script i’m using, anybody see what the problem is?!

[COLOR=DarkRed]var myMCL:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();  
var myListener:Object = new Object();

myMCL.addListener(myListener);

myListener.onLoadProgress = function(target\_mc:MovieClip, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number) {  
var loaded:Number = Math.round((bytesLoaded/bytesTotal) \* 100);  
progressBar.gotoAndStop(loaded);  
}

myListener.onLoadComplete = function (target\_mc:MovieClip) {  
progressBar.\_visible = false;  
}

myListener.onLoadStart = function (target\_mc:MovieClip) {  
progressBar.\_visible = true;  
}

myMCL.loadClip(“main.swf”, “container”);

thank you!!!
