First off I have read many MANY posts on preloading jpgs. I am using code posted by LIB in [this thread](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=15472&perpage=15&pagenumber=2)

I have on my main stage a container clip. It is on this container clip that I want to use the code. I have this in the Actionscript layer of the container clip:  
[AS]  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“pload”, 1000);  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“imagecon”, 1001);  
[//imagecon.loadMovie](https://imagecon.loadMovie)(“yourImage.jpg”);  
imagecon.\_x = 24.3;  
imagecon.\_y = 49.5;  
imagecon.\_visible = false;  
pload.onEnterFrame = function() {  
var l = imagecon.getBytesLoaded();  
var t = imagecon.getBytesTotal();  
var getPercent = l/t;  
loadText = Math.round(getPercent_100)+"%";  
loadBar.\_width = getPercent_200;  
if (l\>0 && l\>=t) {  
imagecon.\_visible = 1;  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
}  
};  
[/AS]

On the MAIN timeline I have a button and I have this code on the button:  
[AS]  
on(release){  
//some other stuff  
\_root.container.imagecon.loadMovie(“pics/mst\_s2.jpg”);  
}  
[/AS]

When I test the movie all is dandy, though because it’s all sitting on my hard drive you don’t really see the preloader, just the pic. However, when I upload it to the server all you see is “0%”. The pic is only 3kb - so what the hey?

Any help appreciated! :bu:

Hey everyone,

I am currently out of town (away from home and Flash ☹ ) for a couple more days. I’ll try to get to this thread when I return. In the meantime, anyone else who has successfully pulled this off (you know who you are! 😛 ) please feel free to fill in for me!
