this is a sketch of an architects' website:
http://www.vahk.nl/client/daad/d…
it's an swf with some external swf's loaded in it.
little problem:
if you scroll down to the second chapter (nieuwsitem) you first see a preloadbar.
after that nothing happens because some external jpg's and txt's are loaded into it, till this external content is totally loaded.is there a way to show the loading progress of the external loaded jpg's and txt's?

you can set up your preloader with a getBytesLoaded and deliver it to a text variable. A counter essentially.
Or are you looking to export a test window to tell you whats happening?

F_EddyShears, i don't know i made myself totally clear...
you see a loading progress bar with the bytes loaded of the external swf. this works.
after this loading bar it jumps to the content scene of this external loaded swf.
after this nothing happens for a while, because 40 external jpg's with a size of 20 kB are loading in it.
the point is that you can't see that there is something loading...

I'm not seeing any loading progress bar. n not in the beginning or when scrolling down. Am I missing something?

Instead of using a loaderbar you could try something like "loading 4 out of 32 images" which then should be updated ofcourse after each image is loaded.

i think i quit trying to be a 'flash-programmer' now.

I am using loadJPG in my last site too.
By now, I just put a message loading image under each image to be loaded.
I have a preload machine that works on level0, and I was thinking to point it on my imageMovieclipContainer instances at level2 (where images are loaded). I don't know if it will work yet, but is an idea...
what do you think?

hmmm... don't know de, but tell me if it works...
i'm splitting the whole project up now, so you don't have to import all the external jpg's at once.

you can make a total of all Jpeg's getBytesTotal() using an array and then make a preloader using the relation of the percent loaded and the total size.

that's beyond me, unfittoprint.
