Hi, this might be a very simple one!

I just can’t work it out. I am trying to open a movie within another movie, but can’t seem to get the preloader in the second movie working.

total\_bytes = \_root.getBytesTotal();  
loaded\_bytes = \_root.getBytesLoaded();  
remaining\_bytes = total\_bytes-loaded\_bytes;  
percent\_done = int((loaded\_bytes/total\_bytes)\*100);  
bar.gotoAndStop(percent\_done);  
ifFrameLoaded (“Scene 2”, 350) {  
gotoAndPlay(“Scene 2”, 1);  
}

I have used the code above for both movies. This all works fine on the first movie.

When i select a button from the navigation area to open a new movie on the right handside preloading bar don’t seem to move.

any suggestions are welcome.

Only the trends and ranges buttons work.
