Anyone have a way to make a preloader begin at 10, and countdown to 0? - kinda like the oldschool reels in film would do. here’s the code I’m using that displays loading beginning at 0, and ending at 10. Essentially I just want to reverse this.

var loaded:uint = (e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal) \* 10;  
loadProgress\_txt.text = loaded.toString();
