I am trying to set up a frame percentage counter in my movie, not in a preloader.

Wanting to display via dynamic text on screen the percentage of the movie completed as it plays. I know it involves math function and \_currentFrame and \_totalFrames but I’m unable to get the right coding together for this.

Can anyone please help? Thanks.
