Sorry for the complicated topic. I got a .swf that loads in other .swfs. Rather than figuring out how to make a loader for loading .swfs I thought I’d just use a simple loader in the .swf I’m loading.

However, it doesn’t work. It starts fully loaded but doesn’t finish. Heres the AS:[AS]\_root.stop();  
PercentLoaded = \_root.getBytesLoaded()/\_root.getBytesTotal()\*100;  
if (PercentLoaded != 100) {  
bar.\_xscale = PercentLoaded;  
} else {  
\_root.play();  
}  
[/AS]

Anyone got a clue? Or would anyone be willing to point me in the direction for a \*very \*simple .swf loader.

thanks!
