external swf files and percentage bars

[Pingvin]

Hello,

What I'm trying to do is load external mcs to my stage. I want to have a percentage bar showing how much is loaded.

here is what I've got:

// First the loader function, what works just fine:

function load_jpg_or_swf(targetMC, jpgURL) {
_root.holder.mtClip.loadMovie(jpgURL);
attachMovie("loader", "loadMC", 1000);
loadMC.loadtarget = _root.holder.mtClip;
loadMC.onEnterFrame = is_loaded_results;
loadMC._x = 0;
loadMC._y = 0;
}

// Then the function that is supposed to grow my percentage bar, doesn't work. I have a mc named projektiLoadBar on my stage. The script just loads the new mc, but the percentage bar doesn't grow.

function is_loaded_results() {
loading = _root.holder.mtClip.getBytesLoaded();
total = _root.holder.mtClip.getBytesTotal();
percent -= (percent-((loading/total)*100))*.25;
per = int(percent);
_root.projektiLoadBar._width = per;
}

// And the following could also be in a button.. I have a button called b3, again this works fine..

b3.onRelease = function() {
yourJPGurl = "ruusutorppa.swf";
load_jpg_or_swf(mtClip, yourJPGurl);
};


I would really appreciate help with this one. If you have ready examles I would be happy to go through them.

try

function is_loaded_results() {
loading = _root.holder.mtClip.getBytesLoaded();
total = _root.holder.mtClip.getBytesTotal();
per = Math.round((loading/total)*100);
_root.projektiLoadBar._width = per;
}



otherwise post what its doing wrong

cheers

oh yeah and if you're running this locally you won't see the preloader (unless you have 2004 and choose 'simulate download' from the view menu in test movie mode)
