Hi there.  
I`m making a preloader and everything seems to go ok, except that i want to show how much percent of the movie`s been loaded (basing on the Bytes not the frames), but i havent find the way to do it, so if you can please help me i would aprecciate.

Note; i made 200 layers, each two has a number from 0 to 1oo,and the actions to check and if not yet go back and check again. An if statement that goes like this

loadpercent = getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()\*100;  
if (loadpercent != 1) {  
gotoAndPlay(2); //on this frame is an action to go back and check//  
} else {  
gotoAndPlay(3); // on this one it repeats the if statement process but the load percent must be 2, and it shows a 1% on the frame//  
}

Another note: this is not the main loader movie, this is only the movie that has the percent stuff, the main movie has an if statement like this:

On frame 1  
loadpercent = getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()\*100;  
if (loadpercent != 100) {  
setProperty(\_root.bar, \_xscale, loadpercent);  
} else {  
gotoAndPlay(“Scene 1”, 1);  
}

On frame 2  
gotoAndPlay(1);

Please Help!!!
