I was just wondering how to implement a progress bar in a preloader movie sequence. I’ve got a movie which is preloading approx. 260 frames, and I just wanted to create a progress bar which would show the viewer how much of the movie had been preloaded, so that the viewer had some idea of when the movie would start playing. I’ve been playing with the \_framesloaded command, but I can’t seem to get it to work right

Any information would be helpful.  
Thanks
