FLASH MX/1.0  
I am wondering if anyone knows why this preloader does not work in Internet Explorer but works great in Safari and Firefox? I got the the preloader script from this tutorial:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm)

**This is pretty much the only script used:**  
bytes\_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());  
bytes\_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
this.loadBar.\_width = getPercent_100;  
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent_100)+"%";  
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(3);  
}

Is there something missing that would make it work in IE?  
Thanks in advance for any ideas.  
BTW, here is the link to the site I am working on, you can test it in different browsers and see for yourself:
