Hi, i’ve tried making a preloader (without any tutorials) by myself, i’ve done everything, just i’ve done this:
named text box varibal: loaded
on the maintimeline’s first frame i enter:
loaded=\_root.getbytestotal();
all i want to do now is round the bytes off to KB. i Assume you multiply by 1000 but where do i put this code? in the brackets? new line? or what. HELP!! 🙂

loaded = Math.round(\_root.getBytesLoaded()/1000)
that should work.

dunno if you’re still working on this:
technically, you would need to multiply by 1024, not 1000. 1 kb is 1024 bytes. Not to be anal, but that’s how it is.
