I´ve try, but didn´t work…

All i really want to do is create a external .swf with a preloader , and then  
when you load in the main movie , it starts loading a .mp3 file on the server  
using that preloader.

Is this a dificult task…? :-\

no, it isn’t. :-\

but if that’s not working, something else is wrong too, i’d need to see the files.  
i should be able to open your fla’s if you .zip them.

ok… this script worked for me. =)

```auto
stop();
intro = new Sound(this);
intro.loadSound("http://www.filete.0catch.com/intro.mp3");
loadBar._xscale = 0;
percentLoadedText = "0%";
onEnterFrame = function () {
	introBytesTotal = intro.getBytesTotal();
	introBytesLoaded = intro.getBytesLoaded();
	if (introBytesLoaded>0) {
		introLoading = Math.round((introBytesLoaded/introBytesTotal)*100);
		percentLoadedText = introLoading+"%";
		loadBar._xscale = introLoading;
		if (introLoading >= 100) {
			this.gotoAndPlay(2);
			delete this.onEnterFrame;
		}
	}
};

```

do you really want to know? 😛

well, i removed a couple of ‘useless’ variables in your script and changed \_root.gotoAndPlay(2) to this.gotoAndPlay(2). 😉

no problem, filete. =)

you should always use this/\_parent instead of \_root. it could save you a lot of problems (like this one!). 😉
