hi there all you Flash Gurus! im a newbie to the flash world, i have a project im working on, its like a preloader, but i want to fill the bar depending on a 2 values passed from the browser variables a & b varA = total varB = progress Check out the attached image. thats the bar the part im totally stuck with is making the green bar move from 0 to the point specified in the variable… so basically the green bar stops at the percentage of varA. the total width of the movie is the same as depicted in the image, its just the internal variables that change. if you could help me out it would be MUCH appreciated. i know ActionScript is needed, its just that crap im lost with. I guess all im asking for is how do i get that symbol to move across the screen. ---
