MovieClipLoader - preloading in MX04Pro

MovieClipLoader - preloading in MX04Pro

I 'm becoming some sort of square faced frustrationalist trying to crack
a preloader,
so please help me to not grab the golf club and smash my lovely mac to
pieces.


Here 's the deal. I 'm trying to create a preloader that will load a
large swf into the root.
I 've created a stubb swf that should do this for me while showing the
user the progress of the load.
Simple enough and it works great.

...untill I actually try to load the movie as _root (or _level0 for
that matter)
This will stop the preloading progress bar and will cause Flash MX 2004
Professional to crash on my mac.

Any suggestions?
thx

Here 's my actionscript on frame 1:
/*****************************************/
stop();

// first set of listeners
var bookright_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
myListener = new Object();

myListener.onLoadStart = function (target_mc)
{
trace( "load started ");
}

myListener.onLoadProgress = function (target_mc, loadedBytes,
totalBytes) {
   _root.pBar.setProgress(loadedBytes, totalBytes);
   trace( "setProgress: "+loadedBytes+ " / "+ totalBytes);
}

myListener.onLoadComplete = function (target_mc) {
   _root.pBar.setProgress(100, 100);
}

myListener.onLoadInit = function (target_mc) {
   trace( "Movie clip = " + target_mc + " is now initialized ");
}

bookright_mcl.addListener(myListener);

//Now load the file -large dummy used as target, once the pBar (27k)
has loaded
pbarLoad = new Object();
pbarLoad.load = function(eventObject) {
   _root.bookright_mcl.loadClip( "large_dummy.swf ", 0)
}
_root.pBar.addEventListener( "load ", pbarLoad)
