I need a loading progress bar

Hello everyone,
I need a progress bar to load as my external jpgs are loading into an empty movie clip. I did not use a component. Maybe I should? I really need to get this done. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get a loading progress bar to work? Below is the AS2. Thank you.

Actionscript Code:

on (rollOver) {
    this.small1.small1A.glowMC.gotoAndPlay("playglow");
    this.small1.small1A.yellowbox.gotoAndPlay("startyellow");
    this.small1.gotoAndPlay("startdown");
}
on (rollOut) {
    this.small1.small1A.glowMC.gotoAndPlay("endglow");
    this.small1.small1A.yellowbox.gotoAndPlay("endyellow");
    this.small1.gotoAndPlay("startup");
    this.small1.smallA.yellowbox.gotoAndPlay("boxsmall");


}
on (press) {
    this.small1.small1A.yellowbox.gotoAndStop("pushyellow");





}
on (release) {
    this.small1.small1A.yellowbox.gotoAndPlay("pushyellow");
    //this.fadeIn_mc.gotoAndPlay("startFade");



    var mcHolder:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("mcHolder", getNextHighestDepth());
    var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    mcLoader.addListener(this);

    (mcLoader.loadClip("photo1.jpg",mcHolder));

}   

//(mcLoader.loadClip("../images/photo1.jpg", mcHolder));

Oh well, you're almost there. At least you're using the the MovieClipLoader Class !

Look at the liveDocs under MovieClipLoader Class, they have code samples. all you need to do is use the onLoadProgress event.

Thank you gparis,
Mind if I ask another question?
How can I make the external jpg fit on a certain x y coordinate with the AS2 I just provided?
Thanks

Using the onLoadInit event of the MovieClipLoader Class. Inside its handler you write the desired x/y coords of the mcHolder object.
