hi, not sure if this is the best way to have a preloader. I put this on frame 1 and on frame 2 i have a gotoAndPlay(1);

is it best to have the thi.getBytesLoaded() so that way i can use this for any new movie?

thanks 🙂

bytes\_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
\_root.loadBar.\_width = getPercent_100;  
percentage\_txt.text = Math.round(getPercent_100)+"%";  
if (bytes\_loaded \>= bytes\_total)  
{  
trace(“loaded”);  
nextScene();  
}
