Hello -

```
I'm very new to the flash program. I have a fairly good understanding of the basics, but lack some skills in actionscript. I have a progress bar with a dynamic text that precedes a large swf file. I was able to get the width of the bar to grow with the bytes loaded, but I can't seam to figure out how to link the dynamic text box to do the same. I'm sure its something very simple, but again my syntax needs work.

```

(I also left no text in the “var” box thats in the dynamic text properties )

instance name of the progress bar is “loadBar”  
instance name of dynamic text is “load\_Text”

Here’s the code on the first frame

bytes\_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());  
bytes\_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
loadBar.\_width = getPercent_788;  
load\_Text.text = Math.round(getPercent_100)+"%";  
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(3);  
}

Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated-- Thanks
