How do i hook up the progress bar component to display a progress bar for an externally loading swf using loadMovie?

The swf is loaded with this action script on the frame it’s being loaded into.

\_root.new1.loadMovie(“Quentin.swf”);

any help would be appreciated. I am tearing my hair out…it’s for a cd rom due this week.  
thanks:)
