ok i have created a simple enough preloader, all i am wanting to do is add  
a percentage symbol to the text field called “frame” my code is below

loadedbytes = getBytesLoaded();  
totalbytes = getBytesTotal();  
loadedkbytes = Math.ceil(loadedbytes/1000);  
totalkbytes = Math.ceil(totalbytes/1000);  
if (loadedbytes == totalbytes) {  
gotoAndStop(“Scene 1”, 4);  
}  
frame = int(loadedbytes/(totalbytes/100));  
tellTarget (\_root.mainloader.loader) {  
tellTarget (\_root.faker) {  
}  
gotoAndStop (\_root.frame);  
}  
\_root.mainloader.loader.place.test = frame

If may sound like a dumb question when i can just add a percentage symbol on the stage. but I would much prefer to add it as code in the text field.  
any help appreciated.

kind regards

frame = int(loadedbytes/(totalbytes/100) + “%”);
