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:
