This is the structure of my flash

Index file

- Thumb Container  
– Thumb Preloader  
– Thumb1 to Thumb1 Containers  
— Swf files just with pictures in them

- Picture Container  
– Picture Preloader  
– Another Picture Container  
— swf files just with pictures in them

For example the picture preloader  
heildarb = \_level0.PictureSet.Picture.getBytesTotal();  
This is the varible that reads the totalbytes on the swf file, so it goes to \_level0 then to the first Picture container and then the second Picture Container.

The problem is that the prelader just doesnt seem to read the size, could someone help?
