You have to put the loading code into another clip in order to do this.

When you use a clip as a holder to load an image into as soon as you trigger the load the clip is emptied so you lose your code. But if the loading code is in another clip then you can use it to monitor the load's progress.

So if your picture holder clip is called 'picHolder' you could do this in another clip on the same timeline.

this.onEnterFrame=function(){
totalBytes=picHolder.getBytesTotal();
loadedBytes=picHolder.getBytesLoaded();
percent=Math.round(loadedBytes/totalBytes*100);
}

and use 'percent' to display the information however you want.
