hey , quick question…  
why does this return undefined? , the movie which im loading in works perfectly so its something in thtis code which is not right ( its tracing undefined)

[AS]  
if(!xxx){  
menu.loadMovie(“menu1.swf”); //load in Menu 1  
loadintowhat=menu;  
xxx=true;  
}  
loadbar1(loadintowhat);

loadbar1 = function (loadintowhat) {  
tot=[loadintowha].getBytesTotal();  
lod=[loadintowhat].getBytesLoaded();  
trace(tot+" "+lod);  
}  
[/AS]

thanks
