I’m trying to create a progress bar to monitor the timeline progression of a loaded movie clip. Most of the tutorials out there are based on preloaders. While I get that the concept is similar, I’m struggling.

User load various movie clips by clicking on a left navigation menu. I’d like the progress bar to show the users where they are in the movie clip’s timline. I’d also like the progress bar to start over when a new movie clip is loaded.

My progress bar is 508 pixels wide.

Any ideas?
