I need help with the following code. The preloader works perfect but I would like it to display text instead of numbers as it loads. So it would be like “one, two, three, four,…” What do I need to do?

Code is below

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”);  
}  
}
