preLoader Question

Hello all…

I have been trying to use the progressBar component to display some information.

Rather than displaying bytes loaded, I would like it to display a simple variable as a percentage.

It’s a simple game of skill. The maximum number of skill points you can get is 100. So, if a player collected 50 skilll pts, the bar would move half way along and then trigger a function.

Is this possible?

I found this in Flash Help but not sure how to use it or whether it would work:


for (var i:Number = 1; i <= total; i++){    
// insert code to load file    
my_pb.setProgress(i, total);}

Thanks as always for any help,

David
