preloader in a movie clip

[sephillips78]

I have a preloader in my main movie which works fine, but what I need to do is change the code so that it works in a movie clip loaded into the main movie.
Here's the code.


bytes_loaded = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
_root.loadBar._width = getPercent*210;
_root.loadTextPercentage = "Loading Navigation";
_root.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
_root.Percentage = "of 120kb";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(3);
}

Any help on this suject would be gratefully appreciated.

loadedbytes = getbytesloaded();
totalbytes = getbytestotal();
percentbytes = int(loadedbytes/(totalbytes/100));
telltarget(_root.loader);
gotoAndStop(_root.percentbytes);

Use that and name your movie clip "loader" or whatever you want

also, if you're telling a movie clip to change frames and the code is IN the movie clip "this" works instead of _root.fkjshdf

then, on the second frame in the main timeline, give it this:
if (loadedbytes == totalbytes) {
nextScene();
} else {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}

i hope i helped!
