Hi all,

I am trying to load a swf lets say **blah.swf** on the root of **loader.swf** , now I want to check when the blah.swf is loaded fully, it redirects the browser to some other location.

I am mentioning again, that I want to load new movie on \_root level of blah.swf,  
I tried it by using following code

loadMovie(“blah.swf”, \_root);

But the problem is that I can’t track that how much percent movie is loaded as \_root.getBytesLoaded returns the byte loaded on loader.swf.

Also blah.swf can be any file, so I can’t edit it.

I am Looking forward for replies.

Thanks in Advance.
