This is in regards to the tut found [here.](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm) It was very helpful in resolving an issue I had. A question though. Is there an efficient way to show bytes loaded, or basically a preloader/progress indicator, while the external .swf loads?

Originally I was just simply loading external swfs which had preloaders in them. But the transition made is way slicker and not so abrupt.

Thx for any help. Very cool community!
