[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Hello everyone.[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I’ve found a great tutorial using AS 2.0 for a preloader to load external movies.[/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana] [/FONT][/COLOR]  
[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]The tutorial used dynamic text to count the bytes loaded, displaying this in a percentage number (1% - 100%). I want to add a progress bar to the preloader animation. The bar shows up but does not expand as the bytes are loaded. I don’t know where I’m going wrong. Please help.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]I’ve posted the code below:[/FONT][/COLOR]

var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();  
var mclL:Object = new Object();  
var mclL:Object = new Object();  
mclL.onLoadProgress = function(target,loaded,total) {  
loader.percent.text = Math.round((loaded/total) \* 100) + “%”;  
loader.loadBar.\_with = onLoadProgress \* 200;  
}  
mclL.onLoadInit = function() {  
loader.\_visible = false;  
loader.percent.text = “”;  
}  
mcl.addListener(mclL);  
mcl.loadClip(“Introduction.swf”,holder);  
overview1.onRelease = function() {  
loader.\_visible = true;  
mcl.loadClip(“Overview.swf”,holder);  
}  
plans2.onRelease = function() {  
loader.\_visible = true;  
mcl.loadClip(“Plans.swf”,holder);  
}  
images3.onRelease = function() {  
loader.\_visible = true;  
mcl.loadClip(“newBirth\_Images.swf”,holder);  
}  
donate4.onRelease = function() {  
loader.\_visible = true;  
mcl.loadClip(“Donate.swf”,holder);  
}  
introduction5.onRelease = function() {  
loader.\_visible = true;  
mcl.loadClip(“Introduction.swf”,holder);  
}

Thanks in advance!
