Hi all,

I’ve just built a site using mx2004 and as2, that’s around 6MB in size. I stuck a very simple preloader on using the following code in frame 1:

\<as\>  
stop ();

var loaderInterval = setInterval (loading,10);  
function loading () {  
percent\_txt.text = Math.round (getBytesLoaded ()/ getBytesTotal ()\*100)+"%";  
if (getBytesLoaded () \>= getBytesTotal () ){  
gotoAndPlay (“intro”);  
percent\_txt.\_visible = false;  
clearInterval (loaderInterval);  
}  
}  
\</as\>

on a preloader layer, I have nothing but a dynamic Text field, called percent\_txt.

The thing is, it won’t show anything until around 90% of the way through the load. when magically the preloader text appears for the last second (starting at 90%). I’ve tried it on another movie and it works exactly as it should. Any ideas why? What am I doing wrong!!! I’m beginning to pull my hair out over this. I’m simulating a download speed of 1MB/s and also uploaded the partial movie to a server. No good.

Any ideas would be gratefully received.  
Cheers, Simon

ps I’m a complete noob, and if it wasn’t for the likes of you guys I’d still be trying to work out why the hell I tried flash in the first place, so keep up the fantastic work!
