I have a main swf file that is simply a container to load in other swfs.

These other swf files are movies that contain embedded flv files. Each are about 300 frames long.

I want to include a preloader in the flv swf files and when i do and view them individually - they work fine.

When i view the main loader movie - none of the preloaders show up - it’s just blank until the movies are loaded.

For the preloader - i added a scene and used the following code:

loaded\_bytes = \_root.getBytesLoaded();  
total\_bytes = \_root.getBytesTotal();  
loadpercent = (loaded\_bytes/total\_bytes)\*100;

// Lets check if it reached 100…  
if (loadpercent != 100) {

```
bar.gotoAndStop(int(loadpercent));

```

} else {

```
gotoAndPlay("main", 1);

```

}

Any ideas what i need to do to see the individual pre loaders?

thanks!
