here’s my script:

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);

```

}

Why doesn’t the preloader display in a normal way??? it blinks, showing “9%” and then disapears
