    as2 external swf preloader almost working correctly --please help --

    Hi. Sorry this is a preloader question.

    My preloader works, but letters are missing from the % loaded text that is displayed. Rather than saying whatever % "loaded", it says "oadd."

    In the output box it says: [type Function].

    And, in the compiler errors box, it says the following:
    "The class or interface 'Preloader' could not be loaded."

    Code:
    // create an empty movie clip
    this.createEmptyMovieClip("container", this.getNextHighestDepth());
    
    // create the MovieClipLoader Object
    var mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    // create the listener Object
    var listener:Object = new Object();
    
    // when it starts loading
    listener.onLoadStart = function(mc:MovieClip)
    {
    	mc._visible = false; // hide the movie
    }
    
    // while it's loading, grab the percentage
    listener.onLoadProgress = function(mc:MovieClip, bl:Number, bt:Number)
    {
    	var percentage = Math.round(bl / bt * 100);
    	// play the animation accordingly
    	preloader_mc.bar_mc.gotoAndStop(percentage);
    	// show it in the text field
    	preloader_mc.percentage_txt.text = percentage + "% loaded";
    };
    
    // when it finishes loading
    listener.onLoadComplete = function(mc:MovieClip)
    {
    	// remove to animation
    	preloader_mc.swapDepths(preloader_mc._parent.getNextHighestDepth());
    	preloader_mc.removeMovieClip();
    }
    
    // when the first frame bebomes available
    listener.onLoadInit = function(mc:MovieClip)
    {
    	// we're ready to interact with it
    	mc._visible = true;
    }
    
    // load the external file:
    mcl.loadClip("MP3PlayerF8_v14.swf", container);
    
    // add the listener to the MovieClipLoader Object
    mcl.addListener(listener);
    
    // stop the bar animation and initialize the text
    preloader_mc.bar_mc.stop();
    preloader_mc.percentage_txt.text = "contacting server...";
