have a preloader with the following code

stop();

this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PRO GRESS, onProgress);  
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

function onProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void  
{  
var loaded:Number = e.target.bytesLoaded;  
var total:Number = e.target.bytesTotal;  
var pct:Number = loaded/total;  
loader\_mc.scaleX = pct;  
loaded\_txt.text = “Loading…” +(Math.round(pct \* 100)) + “%”;  
}

function onComplete(e:Event):void  
{  
nextFrame();  
}

It works great with Firefox and Safari on a mac but when viewing in internet explorer on a pc, the loader does not work at all.

Any suggestions.
