In F8, I created a loading bar using the instance “loadBar”. I then inserted the following actionscript in a keyframe in an empty layer. It doesnt seem to work.

> 

stop();  
bytes\_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());  
bytes\_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
this.loadBar.\_width = getPercent\*100;  
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(6);  
}

Can someone help me a bit here? thx in advance
