AS3 Self contained preloader - bytesTotal 0bytes issue

Question

Hi,
I wrote a really basic preloader class using loaderInfo to preload my main swf. Problem is, that loaderInfo.bytesTotal returns 0.
Does any one know how to handle this issue?
BR,
Kamil

loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);

loaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onError);
Preloading functions
private function onProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void {
loaded_bytes = e.bytesLoaded;
total_bytes = e.bytesTotal;
//if( total_bytes == 0 ) total_bytes = 1;
percent = Math.floor(loaded_bytes / total_bytes * 100);
private function onError(e:IOErrorEvent):void {
trace(e);
private function onComplete(e:Event):void {
stop();
trace("SWF Loaded");
loaderInfo.removeEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);
      loaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
