Passing targets to a MovieClipLoader

programming flash

Hello!

So I think I might be going crazy here, i am hoping someone can shed some light!

I am trying to build a function to load a clip passing a target clip as well as an image or swf to a MovieClipLoader that in turn attaches a preloader to display progress. The function looks like so:


function preloadImage(image:String, targeted:MovieClip){
	var imgLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
	var mclImage:Object = new Object();
	mclImage.onLoadInit = function(targeted:MovieClip){
		var plu:MovieClip = targeted.attachMovie("preLoad","preLoad2",10);
		// the following iis tracing undefined
		trace(plu);
	}
	mclImage.onLoadProgress = function(targeted:MovieClip, bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number) {
		//the following is tracing just fine :?
    	trace(targeted + ".onLoadProgress with " + bytesLoaded + " bytes of " + bytesTotal);
		plu._width = Stage.width*(bytesLoaded/bytesTotal);
	}
	mclImage.onLoadComplete = function() {
		trace("hooray! you did it!");
	}
	mclImage.onLoadError = function(){
		trace("something is rotten");
	};
	imgLoader.addListener(mclImage);
	imgLoader.loadClip(image, targeted);
}


var temp:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("temp", 100);
preloadImage("images/details/profile2.jpg", temp);

So the image is loading just fine and the progress traces as it should, but the preloader bar that i am trying to attach after onLoadInit is not coming through. Does this have something to do with how I am passing the variables or is this just something I am not going to be able to do for some reason? Please, help me understand, it’s killing me!

Thanks in advance,
