This code was not written by me and I’m having a hard time figuring out how to fix it. I am getting a syntax error in the preloader.

onClipEvent (load)  
{  
Total = Math.round(\_root.getBytesTotal() / 1000);  
}  
onClipEvent (enterFrame)  
{  
Loaded = Math.round(\_root.getBytesLoaded() / 1000);  
Remaining = Total - Loaded;  
Percent = Math.floor(Number(Loaded) / Number(Total) \* 100);  
gotoAndStop(Percent);  
\_parent.percentloaded = "LOADING " + Percent add “%”;  
if (Percent == 100)  
{  
\_parent.\_parent.play();  
} // end if  
}

I changed  
\_parent.percentloaded = "LOADING " + Percent add “%”;  
to this  
\_parent.percentloaded = "LOADING " + Percent + “%”;

This took away the syntax error but now the parent swf is not loading. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
