[font="]Hi,
First of all thanks for the nice tutorials.
I just have one question. Which is very stupid. I build it and it worked fine. Everything is really cool. But When I build a big bar 500 pix long it only load 1/3 of it, while the percentage was going all the way.
What did I do wrong again?
Thanks,
lol[/font]

There is a line of code in there that corresponds to the length of your loadBar. In the tutorial the loadBar is 100 pix which can be confusing b/c then the code makes it look like 100 is a %. You want to change this line of code:
```auto
this.loadBar._width = getPercent*100;
```
Change the 100 to the length of your loadBar (500 in this case)

Yeah, but so many folk skip over that part. They see “100” and think it has something to do with 100%. Seen it before and I’m sure we’ll see it again!
