can you just post your actionscript here, i know exactly whats wrong but i need to see what values you have in your actionscript.

you probably have something that looks kinda like this :

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.gotoAndPlay(3);  
}

so what you probably need to do is adjust the # value in the  
"this.loadBar.\_width = getPercent\*100;"  
sections of your script.

…see if that helps.

Ok, this is a **_very very_** messy file to do something so simple… a lot of this is not needed - its just a lot more confusing than it needs to be.

u can do this in a million ways.

1 problem u have is that your loading bar graphic is bigger than it needs to be… and that is gonna cause u problems.

I was inclined to tidy your code up a bit, but I couldn’t be botherred, so I have just alterred it slightly & fixed it instead.

Its attached.
