I am kind of new to AS and I want to load and external SWF file when I click a button and give a progress of the download.

I followed a tutorial in order to get this done.

Everything works great except it’s loading the movie immediatly instead of when you click the button.

As its loading I can click the button and it starts reloading. So I believe it is working.

I don’t want it start loading until you click the button.

Can someone tell me how to rearrange the code in order to do that.

Here is the code:

* * *

var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();  
var mclL:Object = new Object();  
mclL.onLoadProgress = function(target,loaded,total) {  
loader.percent.text = Math.round((loaded/total) \* 100) + “%”;  
}  
mclL.onLoadInit = function() {  
loader.\_visible = false;  
loader.percent.text = “”;  
}  
mcl.addListener(mclL);  
mcl.loadClip(“benelli2.swf”,holder);  
b1.onRelease = function() {  
loader.\_visible = true;  
mcl.loadClip(“benelli2.swf”,holder);  
}
