MC Loading an External File

[tyberius7]

I have a flash website which I want it to load an external swf file and show
its loading progress.

I created a movie clip (my_mc) and use the loadmovie command to load the
external.swf. I placed a dynamic text (var: Progress) to display BytesLoaded.

The problem is that the var Progress shows 12 Bytes which is the size of the
my_mc without the external swf (external swf is 93KB).

Can anyone help PLEASE ?? The code that I have is shown below:

///Scene 1 Frame 7

loadMovie("external.swf", my_mc);
gotoAndPlay("Scene1", 8);

///Scene 1 Frame 8

Progress = my_mc.getBytesLoaded();
if (my_mc.getBytesLoaded() == my_mc.getBytesTotal()){
stop();
}
else
gotoAndPlay("Scene1", 9);

///Scene 1 Frame 9

gotoAndPlay("Scene1", 8);

RESULT: The external.swf loads and the Progress dynamic text shows the value
12! But I know that the external swf file is at least 93KB!

The condition

my_mc.getBytesLoaded() == my_mc.getBytesTotal()

will be true the 10% of the time you try it. There are well know problems with
the 'load API' of
Flash, depending also on the browser you're using (if any).
