After consulting several different pre-loader tutorials, I tried to build a very simple pre-loader. I placed the following on a movie clip in frame 1.

onClipEvent (enterFrame){  
bytesloaded=Math.round (getBytesLoaded());  
bytestotal=Math.round (getBytesTotal());  
percent=(bytesloaded/bytesTotal);  
fullpercent=(Math.round(percent_100));  
this.loadbar.\_width=(this.loadbar.\_width_percent);  
if (bytesloaded==bytestotal){  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(2);  
}  
}

I placed the published html file on the web. Although it isn’t large (I attached a medium-sized image as a “load”), it takes forever to load and does not show the pre-loader. What is my error? Any ideas?
