I personally prefer to use the streaming capability of Flash and not use

a meter to track the loading process, I'd rather them start seeing

content rather than seeing when they will get it. You can also make

accurate preload indicators internally in Flash with 'If Frame is

Loaded' but they must be customized to the movie to be accurate.

You don't have a VBScript subroutine to convert calls from the Flash

ActiveX control to JavaScript. Look at the code in the Demos.

Also it hung my Netscape 3 browser. Too many JavaScript calls.
