Hello all…

I have built a preloader from a tutorial that works great for loading the whole movie but what I would ideally like is to have it have it only load a percentage, or preferably load the first 420 frames. It has a load bar and text output and I would like to still be able to use those…

(420 frames loaded = 100%) or (60% bytes loaded = 100%)

Here is the code I am using… I would be grateful for any help. I have been experimenting like mad and wading through countless threads to no avail.

* * *

\_root.stop();  
myInterval = setInterval(preloader, 10);  
function preloader(){  
if (\_root.getBytesLoaded()\>=\_root.getBytesTotal()){  
\_root.play(30);  
clearInterval(myInterval);  
}  
bar.\_xscale = (\_root.getBytesLoaded()/\_root.getBytesTotal())\*100;  
myTextField.text = Math.round(\_root.getBytesLoaded()/\_root.getBytesTotal()\*100);  
}

* * *

Cheers,

Chuck
