Thanks

draw the ‘circle’ and convert it to an MC… call it “myMC”
have this script on the root timeline:
```auto
stop()
speed = 5
onEnterFrame = function() {
bloaded = _root.getBytesLoaded
toLoad = _root.getBytesTotal
if(bloaded

Hello again…
I´ve just try this code , but doesn´t work…
I did a streaming play , and what happen was that the circle disapear and
then after a while it apears and dont even makes the rotation…
I´ve put a video on the 2 frame of the \_root timeline…
Strange , cos the code seems ok…
If you can try an example and put it on here to download will it be
great!
I can´t put my example here cos im using Macintosh and this forum
doesn´t accept .fla or .swf files from Mac…:hair:
Thanks again

Strange , cos the code seems ok…
…and then…

oh \*\*\*\*!!!
silly me!
the lines
```auto
bloaded = _root.getBytesLoaded
toLoad = _root.getBytesTotal
```
should be
```auto
bloaded = _root.getBytesLoaded()
toLoad = _root.getBytesTotal()
```
If you’re on a not-so-fast connection, tell me whether this example works here 🙂
