Laoding into MC with Preloader and animation

programming flash
1

Hey guys!

I have a main move with a mc called “content” where all the externals swf’s are loaded into.

On all my external swf’s i have created an animation and have the follwing actions

FIRST FRAME

bytes_loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
_root.loadBar._width = getPercent100;
_root.loadText = Math.round(getPercent100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
gotoAndPlay(4);
}

SECOND FRAME

gotoAndPlay(1);

Now when i uploaded the files onto the web, when the external content came in, it loaded but no bar or preloading animation was shown.

:chinaman: worked it out!!

So should i replace root with parent?
