More preloader rhetoric

Alright, let me begin by apologizing because this is an abused topic, but I’m having trouble with loading an external .swf and having the bytes correspond to the external .swf. Now, in the .fla attached, there is lost in beta’s stock code, but only because I thought I’d be nice and remove all the junk I tried to make it work. I assume it doesn’t work straight out of the box because you have to point the “getBytesLoaded();” to the fabled empty movie clip, but, after trying this.getBytesLoaded(); in embedding it into the clip, calling _root.movclip.getBytesLoaded(); from the frame and other stuff…it still doesn’t work. At any rate, help and maybe commented code would help.

Thanks in advance,
