I am loading a movie into a container and positioning it. That part works fine. I am struggling with get Flash to evaluate the length of the loaded movieclip and moving to the nextFrame once it’s done.

Anythoughts?

//loading external swf into empty clip  
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“myContainer\_mc”, 2);  
myContainer\_mc.\_x = 0;  
myContainer\_mc.\_y = 200;  
myContainer\_mc.loadMovie(“child.swf”);  
stop();

//testing for loaded movie length  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
LMcurrentframe = (this.myContainer\_mc.getBytesLoaded());  
LMtotalframe = (this.myContainer\_mc.getBytesTotal());  
if (LMcurrentframe\>=LMtotalframe) {  
\_parent.nextFrame();  
this.unloadMovie();

```
}		

```

}
