Preloader Help - Again ... LOL

programming flash
1

Okay I finally got it all working:

www.goldenwillowdesign.com

Except when you click on any of the buttons that load an external .swf - the preloader displays:

“Loading content 100%”

No matter how much is loaded.

Here is the code from one of the movies:

In action layer:

Frame 1:
Empty key

Frame 2:
if (_root.getBytesLoaded() >= _root.getBytesTotal()) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(“Main”);
}
percentLoaded = Math.round((_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())*100);
loadingText = “Loading content…” + percentLoaded + “%”;

Frame 3:
_root.gotoAndPlay(“check”);

Frame 10:
play();

But when I test the movie in Flash … it works fine.

Any ideas??

Vixie … who would attach file, but can’t get it to work :frowning:

for some reason, the ‘_root’ of loaded movies is now ‘_level0’. you will have to replace ‘_root’ with ‘this’ and it should work. i had the same problem with paths a little while back. if anyone has an explanation of why they changed this in flash mx i’d like to hear it!

Okay tried that … still happens.

Again if I test it in Flash (Ctrl + Enter) it works fine. When I upload it to the web, it says 100% while loading.

Help!

Thanks in advance,
