easepreloader not working in Flash 8

[Goose]

This is the preloader I've been using in MX forever. I need to finally implement it in a Flash 8 file using AS 1.0 and this preloader stops working. Can somebody tell me why?

There is an easier way to do that. I don't know how to make it work your way, but you can try this. Simple. Walk you through it.

Go window/componants
drag a loader onto your stage (in it's own layer)
give it an instance of myLoader
Click on it & open your actions window
type this code

on (complete) {
this._parent.myPBX.setVisible(false);
}


make a layer for your progress bar.
go to componants drag a progress bar on to your stage
(you can edit your progress bar to make it appear how you would like as you would edit any symbol)

now all the coding is done in your property inspector under parameters
give your progress bar an instance of progress bar myPBX
under parameters
make sure it's polled
source = this._parent.myLoader

now click on your loader
go to parameters

there are only 3 options.
one is autoload= true if you want it to auto load false if not
content path= the name of the file you would like it to load (ex.video1.swf)
the last is scale content= true or false.
I always make my loader the size of the content it is loading and place it on the stage where i need it and set this option to false.
