Im needing assistance, I have the following script for my preLoader (see below). Its a simple preLoader with a loading bar that goes from left to right with a percent read out.

What I want is the percent text box to move along the [COLOR=Magenta]\_x[/COLOR] with the load bar, so when the load bar is at 100% the percent text box is just above.

Can anyone help??

[COLOR=Navy]myInterval = setInterval(preloader, 10);  
function preloader() {  
if (\_root.getBytesLoaded()\>=\_root.getBytesTotal()) {  
gotoAndPlay(nextScene);  
clearInterval(myInterval);  
}  
\_root.loadBar.\_xscale = (\_root.getBytesLoaded()/\_root.getBytesTotal())\*100;  
\_root.percentageDisplay.text = Math.round(\_root.getBytesLoaded()/\_root.getBytesTotal()\*100)+"%";  
}[/COLOR]
