G’day.
I read around in the tutorials department and found the preloader for an external site, but I don’t think it will do what I want it to do. It probably will, but I’m not good enough to know which bits of code to chop out and stuff. All I want to do is have a percentage preloader for an external site uploaded to a site, and when loaded, go to the site. Is this possible?

Use this preloader on your external swf: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm) 🙂

Sorry, but that’s for the actual site thingymajig. Is there such thing as “Getbytesloaded([www.thissite.com](http://www.thissite.com))”
"bytesloaded == totalkb (gotoAndPlay([www.thissite.com](http://www.thissite.com))
Is that possible? How would I do it?

You’re trying to preload a completely different site ? Well, if that site is made in Flash, and you know the URL to it’s swf that can be done, just load that swf to a movieclip somewhere in your file, make sure it isn’t visible, then use it’s onEnterFrame to check if bytes loaded equals bytes total 🙂

I guess my mate could help me if I tell him to do that, since I don’t.
cheers.
