I am trying to avoid NaN%loaded showing up on my preloader when loading images before the image loads.

I tried adding this if() statement, but it still shows NaN%loaded for a short while.

```
ActionScript Code:
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT]circs.[COLOR=#0000FF]onEnterFrame[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000] **function** [/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
    t = [COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]_parent[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]container2[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]getBytesTotal[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
    l = [COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]_parent[/COLOR].[COLOR=#000080]container2[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]getBytesLoaded[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
    [COLOR=#0000FF]loaded[/COLOR] = l/t*[COLOR=#000080]100[/COLOR];
    [COLOR=#0000FF]if[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000FF]loaded[/COLOR] == [COLOR=#000080]100[/COLOR] && l&gt;[COLOR=#000080]4[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]

        [COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]else[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
            loaded_txt.[COLOR=#0000FF]text[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#FF0000]"0%loaded"[/COLOR];
        [COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]

```

What’s the proper way to code that so it displays “0%loaded” until it starts loading?

thanks!
