Hi all

I got a statusbar movie clip in the main timeline, which contains a progress bar movie clip. Now my question is how can we target loaded swf in the dummy movieclip in the main timeline so the progress bar can play respectively?

I use  
var p = \_root.dummy.\_currentframe / \_root.dummy.\_totalframes  
and  
var s:Number = int(\_root.dummy. \_currentframe / 12)  
to calculate the movement of the clip but is not working at all.

The target \_root.dummy is working for the movie control.

Thanks in advance for all your help.
