Ok I have a sound Object on the \_root timeline that plays when the page loads, that works great.

I want to preload it so that the user can see the % of it loaded. Here is my code:

[AS]\_root.backgroundMusic.bytes\_loaded = Math.round(\_root.getBytesLoaded());  
\_root.backgroundMusic.bytes\_total = Math.round(\_root.backgroundMusic.getBytesTotal());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
loadedBox = Math.round(getPercent\*100)+"%";[/AS]

The Object is names backgroundMusic it is a sound Object (duh).

When I enter that code I get a “NaN%” in the dynamic text box named loadedBox

Thanks.:cap:

Ok I updated the code to the following:

[AS]\_root.backgroundMusic.bytes\_loaded = Math.round(\_root.backgroundMusic.getBytesLoaded());  
\_root.backgroundMusic.bytes\_total = Math.round(\_root.backgroundMusic.getBytesTotal());  
\_root.backgroundMusic.getPercent = \_root.backgroundMusic.bytes\_loaded/\_root.backgroundMusic.bytes\_total;  
loadedBox = Math.round(\_root.backgroundMusic.getPercent\*100)+"%";[/AS]

It works in my computer but when I upload it is doesn’t work. ☹

Here is my code, I try it in my machine and it works but not online…hmm. I asked every Flash forum I know of and they wont reply.

//Loads Background Music  
backgroundMusic = new Sound();  
backgroundMusic.loadSound(“bg\_music.mp3”, false);  
backgroundMusic.start(0, 9999);  
//Preloads The Background Music  
backgroundMusic.bytes\_loaded = Math.round(backgroundMusic.getBytesLoaded());  
backgroundMusic.bytes\_total = Math.round(backgroundMusic.getBytesTotal());  
backgroundMusic.getPercent = backgroundMusic.bytes\_loaded/backgroundMusic.bytes\_total;  
loadedBox = Math.round(backgroundMusic.getPercent\*100)+"%";
