try again, changed URL after re-reading

i think thats for bar preloaders

8

you could have a inner mc and rather than setting the width set the current frame

9

yea but im not sure what the as is thats what i asked for in the first place…

10

i.e. using the framenumber from the percent variable

11

the link he gave works, it sets the width of an mc though, just change the mc it links to to one with 100 frames and set it to change _currentframe instead

12

sooo:

bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
this.loadBar._width = getPercent100;
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}

edit this for me lol srry

13 

bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
// the edit is the current frame
this.loadBar._currentframe = getPercent*100;
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}

and make sure the movieclip that used to show the width now has 100 frames of what you want

14

too kind bombing pixels…too kind

15

ooo thankyou soo much… im still learning thus making me sucky at flash… if i change the numbers 100 to the totalframes will it still work?

and what about the loadtext?
