Command the preloader to track the progress of the download in ActionScript 3

Question

How can I command the pre-loader to track the progress of the download?

 public function loadImage(filename:String):void
        {
            // show the preloader
            preloader.visible = true;

    // set the source to the UILoader to the full size image to load and display

            addChild(preloader);

            // 
            var loadWindow:UILoader;    
        preloader.trackLoading("LOADING: " + (loader*100).toFixed(0) + "%");


        }

Are you just doing a standard SWF preloader? – Jan 15 '11 at 05:20 — , Jan 15 '11 at 05:20

Listen to the bytesLoaded & bytesTotal properties of the UILoader

Check this link for more info on the UILoader, there are examples at the bottom of the page.
