The movie doesn’t load or your preloader doesn’t show?

preloader don show and ive had my page open for a while and the movie still hasnt come up

Maybe this is what’s wrong?[AS][COLOR=Silver]bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;[/COLOR]
this.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;
[COLOR=Silver]this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent*100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded == bytes_total) {
this.gotoAndPlay(3);
}[/COLOR][/AS]A lot of people, including myself, didn’t realize that the loadBar had to be 100 pixels in width in order for that script to work. Of course you can always change the script to match the size of your loadBar but could this be the problem?

ok so wat exactly do i do… my movie dimensions are 600 by 340

6

oo ya my loadbar movie is 100 H and 100 W

7

If you followed the tutorial properly you should have a loadBar layer. Select the actual load bar (should be a movie clip) and in the properties panel where the W: is, type in 100.

Hmmm, can you give me a link to your site?

The only thing I can think of is that your Instance Names somewhere are incorrect.
