## I’ve written and rewritten this code multiple times, as well as copy and pasted some successful code. And when I simulate download it seems to always download at the same rate. Soo…It could be my default settings are wacked out or I just screwed the code up. Could use some help.

stop();

myInterval = setInterval(preload,100);

function preload() {  
var current = \_root.getBytesLoaded();  
var total = \_root.getBytesTotal();  
var pctLoaded = Math.round(current/total\*100);  
pct\_txt.text = pctLoaded;  
loaderBar\_mc.\_xscale = pctLoaded;

```
if (current &gt;= total) {
	gotoAndStop("main",1);
	clearInterval(myInterval);
}

```

}
