I’m having trouble finding a workaround to get IE to play my SWF again after a user refreshes the page.

Here is the part of my preloader code that isn’t initializing:

```auto

function PL_LOADING(event:ProgressEvent):void {
    var pcent:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;
    lbar.scaleX=pcent/100;
    ltext.text=int(pcent)+"%";
    if(pcent==100){
        this.gotoAndPlay("start");
    }
}

```

I’ve tried a few different things, none of them worked.

Thanks
