Two problems that I haven’t seen a clear answer yet. Trying to create a simple preloader bar and text. Everything works without errors. The problems are my loader waits until about 20% to show and my loader also starts the movieclip at about 86% therefore not completing loading and showing videos that arent yet loaded. Please help with advice. Here is the script:

import flash.display.\*;  
this.stop();  
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, progLOADING);

function progLOADING(event:ProgressEvent):void {

```
var pcent:Number=event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal*100;
lbar.scaleX=pcent/100;
lpc.text=int(pcent)+"%";

if(pcent==100){
this.gotoAndPlay(2);

```

}

}

Bare with me I’m still noob to doing my own script :).
