Those crazy Preloaders

ok… i’m making a flash website for myself… i want to make a pictures swf where it’s a slide show… i probably got the idea from this site but i cant remember… anyway, here’s my problem:
Http://members.aol.com/Dweebik/Derek/Pictures2.swf
click on the forward arrow at the bottom and you’ll see… argh… a grey bar where a preloader should be!!! what i was trying to do was load a picture in a blank movieclip… because the pictures are kinda biggish, i wanted to put them in a swf file and have them be preceeded by a preloader…
the preloader itself works:

could someone please help me out?

thanks,
Derek

hi,

i got your problem…

you have to use following commands for the preloader

holderMovieclip.getBytesTotal()
holderMovieclip.getBytesLoaded()
