Hi All,

After taking a look at the below guide  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm)

I’ve managed to get confused. My loading bar isn’t actually loading, I don’t believe I have done/changed anything that I shouldn’t have.

Currently I have

```auto

// bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
// bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
// getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
_root.loadBar._width = 50;
// this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
// if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
// this.gotoAndPlay(62);
// }

```

and I have given the movie clip loadbar an instance name of “loadBar”

So according to this my loadBar should only be 50% of its width? - But it just remains invisable.

Any ideas/suggestions? :goatee:
