Hi, I am learning flash and trying to make my own photo gallery. I thought that I had everything working, but that was because I was testing my script with Firefox…

The problem:  
I use a setInterval to show the progress bar when I load a photograph. In Firefox, the % grows until it reaches 100%, and then the loader dissapears. In IE, my loader allways shows 0%, even after the photo loaded… I searched in google and in the forums, but I cant find any similar problem. Can you help me out?

This is my code:

When I change the contentPath of my loader, I run this:  
loadPhotoInterval = setInterval(photograph.loadPhoto, 100);

Inside photograph movieclip I have this code:

function loadPhoto() {  
if (photo.getBytesTotal() != 0) {  
photoloader\_mc.\_visible = true;  
photo\_percent = Math.round(photo.getBytesLoaded() / photo.getBytesTotal() \* 100);  
photoloader\_mc.percent = photo\_percent + “% cargado”;  
if (photo\_percent == 100) {  
photoloader\_mc.\_visible = false;  
clearInterval(loadPhotoInterval);  
} else {  
photoloader\_mc.\_visible = true;  
}  
}  
}
