Preloader for swf loading dynamically into another

[sfire2112]

I have a preloader when my main movie loads and it works fine. I have several different smaller movies that load into my main movie and I put the same preloader on each movie. The problem I have is that when i load the smaller movies is the preloader only appears after is hits 100%.

my preloader:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
bytesLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
bytesTotal = _root.getBytesTotal();
percentLoaded = Math.round(100*bytesLoaded/bytesTotal);
_root.percentage_txt.text = percentLoaded+" %";
_root.bytesLoaded_txt.text = Math.round(bytesLoaded / 1024) + " kb";
_root.bytesTotal_txt.text = Math.round(bytesTotal / 1024) + " kb";
this._xscale = percentLoaded;
if (bytesLoaded == bytesTotal) {
_root.play();
}

}
I'm loading my clips into "loader_mc"

should i use something other than _root. I've tryed _root.loader_mc with no success.

Any suggestions?

ok... I figured it out. Thanks anyway.

bytesLoaded = _root.loader_mc.getBytesLoaded();
bytesTotal = _root.loader_mc.getBytesTotal();
