How to preload holder MC

[vucjak]

HI, I`m trying to use this code to preload holder MC which is loading external SWF, but it looks like I`m not doing all the things right.

byteload = _root.holder.getBytesLoaded();
bytetotal = _root.holder.getBytesTotal();

ready = Math.round((byteload/bytetotal)*100)+ "%";
ready1 = Math.round((byteload/bytetotal)*100);
kilobytes = Math.round(bytetotal/1000);
bar._xscale = ready;
if (ready1 == 100) {
this.gotoAndStop (3);
_root.play();
}else{
gotoAndPlay (1);
}

please help

So you have an external movieclip( in a swf file) that you wish to load into a container movieclip named Holder.
first of all you must start load the .swf(in my example holder.swf) file in the holder MC

holder.loadMovie(holder.swf);

bytetotal = holder.getBytesTotal();
byteload = holder.getBytesLoaded();

If it doesn't work post the fla file, maybe it's something else unrelated to the code you have written.

He man, something brought my attention. Revise the following line in your script:

code:

---

 ready = Math.round((byteload/bytetotal)*100)+ "%"; 

---

the ready variable should be strictly a number so you can use it in the _xscale command.

yes, but that is not the point.... _xscale I do not use there. It`s left from my scale preloader, so I do not belleve that chould be the problem.
