Hi everyone

Is there an easy way to make my simple preloader count down?

I followed this expert tutorial (ok [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com));

bytes\_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());  
bytes\_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
this.loadBar.\_width = getPercent_280.9;//width of my bar  
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent_10);//counts up to 10  
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(3);  
}  
Any advice is more than welcome.  
Cheers  
Chief
