Hi I saw this meter [http://www.pi.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/goal-thermometer.html](http://www.pi.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/goal-thermometer.html) at an older thread and I was able to animate it.

Only thing is it won’t work if I changed the values to let say 80.5% (only works with 80% as an example) or even with 4 digits. The animation of the bar seems to loop and not stop.

Here is the code for the movie clip thermometer\_mc:

onClipEvent(enterFrame)  
{  
if (\_root.thermvalue \<= 100)  
{  
this.bar.play();  
if (this.bar.\_currentframe == \_root.thermvalue)  
{  
this.bar.stop();  
}

```
}

```

}

Any HELP would be appreciated! 👼

As u can see on this line:  
if (this.bar.\_currentframe == \_root.thermvalue)  
this.bar.\_currentframe is Integer (without digits) and if you set \_root.thermvalue with digits, they cant ever be equal so animation wont stop.

If u want it to work, use \>= instead of == OR use Math.floor(\_root.thermvalue)
