when it reaches 70 percent…the flash movie turns white blank, all i did was copy and pasted his frames/layers to mine, i didn’t alter anything… check out [www.thashizzit.net](http://www.thashizzit.net) to see what i’m talking about. wha happened? is it a bandwidth/server problem ? This probably is an old question but i’m a newbie to this stuff so please help, i’d appreciate it.

## Frame 1: actions layer

bytes\_loaded = Math.round(\_root.getBytesLoaded());  
bytes\_total = Math.round(\_root.getBytesTotal());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
\_root.loadBar.\_width = getPercent_100;  
\_root.loadText = Math.round(getPercent_100)+"%";  
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total) {  
\_root.gotoAndStop(3);  
}

## Frame 2: actions layer

gotoAndPlay(1);

## Frame 3: actions layer

stop();

border, loadBar, loadText, and Layer 1 are the other layers. Layer 1 is the layer with the actual movie frames to play.

PROBLEM WORSENED…after i replaced all the “\_roots” with “this” … the flash movie doesn’t show AT ALL, its just white blank all throughout…look at the website to see !  
this is what i put…

## Frame 1: actions layer

bytes\_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());  
bytes\_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
this.loadBar.\_width = getPercent_100;  
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent_100)+"%";  
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total) {  
this.gotoAndStop(3);  
}
