I just made a preloader by following the Percentage Preloader With LoadBar tutorial on this site. I actually have two problems:
[list=1]
[_]The numbers showing the percentage complete don’t show up.
[_]The bar doesn’t fill up all the way. It looks like it fills up about 75%, then the movie starts.
[/list]Here is my .fla file: [www.eutron-inc.com/newsite/flash.fla](http://www.eutron-inc.com/newsite/flash.fla)
Help, please!

I got the percentage text to work now… It fills up to 100% and then the movie begins, as it should. The probem is that the bar doesn’t fill up all the way. It reaches its midpoint when the text reads 75% and ends when the text reaches 100% – while the bar itself is still at 75%.

You have to read ALL the instructions in the tutorial. Your bar is 154 pixels wide and you have the code set for a bar that is 100 pixels wide. Change that to the length of your bar and you’ll be set.
:hr:
```auto
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);
}
```
