I am using this code to load my swf. If I test it locally using the download simulator the progress bar and text work correctly. But when I view it from the server, it doesn’t. Is there something I am missing.

```auto

loadMovieNum("culture_history.swf", 1);
stop();
preloadI = setInterval(preloadF, 100);
function preloadF() {
 loaded = _level1.getBytesLoaded()+_level0.getBytesLoaded();
 total = _level1.getBytesTotal()+_level0.getBytesLoaded();
 if (loaded>=total) {
  clearInterval(preloadI);
  //do whatever. ur movies r loaded. 
 } else {
  percent = Math.round(loaded*100/total);
  movieReal.bar._xscale = percent;
  movieReal.p_text_mc.p_txt.text = percent;
 }
}
