If you'll forgive me saying so Robert, unnecessarily complcated!! ;o)
You also need to watch your references. Hope the snippet below helps
guide you in the rigth direction..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
.flash filename="001v3.swf" bbox=300x200 version=10 fps=60 compress
.font tahoma "fonts/tahoma.ttf"
.box placeholder color=blue height=100 width=100 fill=blue
.edittext etext text="--" color=white font=tahoma size=10pt width=40 height=22
.sprite images
.put placeholder x=0 y=0
.action:
this.loadMovie("a.jpg");
.end
.end
.action:
this.attachMovie("images","i",1);
i._height=10;
i._width=10;
i._x=0;
i._y=0;
var v=i.getBytesLoaded();
// (or) var v=i.getBytesTotal();
// (or) var v=i._framesloaded;
etext.text=v.toString();
.end
.put etext x=120 y=120
.end
