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!
