i’m trying to figure out how to convert this preloader to run smooth instead of being choppy  
i know you can add an \_xscale to it somewhere but i can’t figure it out where. tried everything. also tried with tween class no success.

```
ActionScript Code:
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#808080]*//create the movie clip to hold the preloader*[/COLOR]

```
