help i cannot get this preloader to work

[superpaw]

i am trying to use an external preloader for a F4V file which is kept at a HTTP address however it does not work. The preloader i am using is the standard flash template external preloader.the code is below. i think the content loader does not work with F4V files so can anyone provide an alternative script to make this work?

thank you


var contentLoader:Loader;
loadContent("http://www.my URL address");

function loadContent(url:String):void {
contentLoader = new Loader();
contentLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(P rogressEvent.PROGRESS, loading);
contentLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(E vent.COMPLETE, contentLoaded);
contentLoader.load(new URLRequest(url));
}

function contentLoaded(evt:Event):void {
//Optionally change to a clip holder and set progressbar visibility.
addChild(contentLoader);
}

function loading(evt:ProgressEvent):void {
var loaded:Number = evt.bytesLoaded / evt.bytesTotal;
setBarProgress(loaded);
}

function setBarProgress(value:Number) {
progressbar.bar.scaleX = value;
}

yes, you cannot addChild f4v. you need to addChild video, and attach netstream to that video. the code to do it is quite hairy. for some example check this out.
