I’m loading a JPEG file with the loadMovie() method, is there any way to preload this, or to view the loading progress?

Hi,

```php

this.containerMc.loadMovie("yourImg.jpg");
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
  this.preloadJpg();
}
this.preloadJpg = function(){
   if (containerMc.getBytesLoaded> 10 and containerMc.getBytesLoaded == containerMc.getBytesTotal){
     this.onEnterFrame = undefined;
     this.doWhatEver();
  } else {
     this.displayBar();
  }
}

```

Hope it helps  
cheers

SHO
