Hi, I’ll try and keep this simple.

main.swf loads content.swf into a MC like this:

loadMovie (“content.swf”, \_root.content);

The preloader in content.swf works on its own but not when loaded into MC from main.swf.

I need to know how to target getBytesTotal(); and getBytesLoaded for the swf im trying to load.

Can anyone help?
