Hey everyone -

Can someone please help me out with creating a preloader that displays the numbers spelled out instead of the actual numbers?

Example

“one”  
“two”  
“three…”

instead of

“1”  
“2”  
“3…”

Below is the code that I have for a number version.

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {  
total = Math.round(\_root.getBytesTotal()+\_root.holder\_mc.getBytesTotal())/1024;  
loaded = Math.round(\_root.getBytesLoaded()+\_root.holder\_mc.getBytesLoaded())/1024;  
percent = Math.round((loaded/total)\*100);  
text = percent+"%";  
gotoAndStop(percent);  
if (loaded == total) {  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(“play”);  
}  
}

THANKS!
