Hello  
i have a quicktime video and player designed in flash mx 04.  
I would like to have it have the following specifications but i cannot seem to find out how to do it, as my actionscripting skills are not this advanced.

- i have a slider button (black) that works and enables me to scrub through the video
- play / stop / buttons that also function.  
what i don’t know how to do.
- i want to have a preloader that will preload say 30% of the video before telling it to play but still keep loading as the video plays, so i guess i ned a subroutine so that the preloader will keep moving until fullly loaded. (light grey)
- i also want a bar to follow the slider to show the play progress. so it should be attached to the slider which also the play head. (pink)
- also if you click anywhere on the timeline the slider and pink bar will go there.

Anyone that has sparks of genius please help me. some examples are found at [http://www.hi-res.net or [URL=http://www.teamheavy.tv]Team Heavy](http://www.hi-res.net).

here is my sample that you can download. [FLASH FILE](http://www.nicedotone.com/temporary/video.fla.zip)
