I am trying to make a preloader where rather than have a bar which gets bigger, I want a movieClip to move across the stage. I am using the following code but it doesn’t work:

> 

stop;  
PercentLoaded = getBytesLoaded/getBytesTotal_100;  
if (PercentLoaded != 100) {  
setProperty(boat, \_x, PercentLoaded_12);  
} else {  
gotoAndPlay(“3”);  
}

Can anyone help me?

It isn’t in a seperate scene or movieclip, might this be the problem?

Thanks, Ben
