ok … you load the jpg file into a mc. let’s call it **container**
it’s the same method you would do it loading a swf
Bloaded = \_root.container.getBytesLoaded()
Btotal = \_root.container.getBytesTotal()
that’s it … 🙂
if you don’t get it post your fla 😏

I get only total bytes of empty movie clip.

Well it’s working now, it works in this form:
\_root.bar.onEnterFrame = function() {
bytes\_loaded = root.cont.getBytesLoaded();
bytes\_total = \_root.cont.getBytesTotal();
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;
this.\_width =Math.floor(getPercent\*100);
};
you can see the result at:

How did you get the grey bar to display while loading each jpg file? This is what I’m looking for.

I dont have time to go into detail, I’m about to head out the door, but I did something like what you’re asking…
go to
[http://web.mit.edu/lavaboy/www/album/album.html](http://web.mit.edu/lavaboy/www/album/album.html)
I have the code of the whole thing there, but here’s a quick explanation:
```php
this.onEnterFrame=function(){
percent= Math.round((contain.getBytesLoaded()/contain.getBytesTotal())*100);
perbox.text = percent+"% loaded";
loadBar._width = percent;
}
```
basically, I made a bar - converted it to a movie clip and named the instance loadBar - and on enterframe I change the width of it according to the percent. I also write down the percent loaded on the textbox called perbox.
Contain is the name of the movie clip into which I dynamically load the jpegs
I guess I did have time to go into detail. I hope this helps
