Hi there!  
I got suck on my little project of a pictures… I am trying to preload a picture. Since they are quite big, i want the user to know that it is loading…  
So far, no luck.  
Does anyone have a nice simple code, example for me?  
I am able to load a xml and calculate the totalbytes and bytesloaded, but cant with the JPG that i am trying to load.  
Thanks again.  
Cheers.  
Leo.
