I have recently Added sound to my site which makes it a little larger so i actually need my preloader now but it has decided not to work it is kinda offputting seen as it takes a while to load now on modem connections so i have had to put a notice up the fla is located here

oh it worked fine… right-click and “Save as”…

Anyway, When I make my preloaders, I usually put’em in the first scene, then all the content it’s supposed to load in scene2…

I’m sorry, your fla is just confusing me! 😛

```auto

nTotal = getBytesTotal()/1000
nLoaded = getBytesLoaded()/1000
nPercent = Math.round((nLoaded/nTotal)*100)
nRemain = Math.round(nTotal - nLoaded)
if (nRemain<= 0 && nLoaded != 0){
        gotoAndPlay(145)
}
if(length(nPercent) == 1){
	nPercent = "0"+nPercent
}
loader._xscale = nPercent

```

that will show you the progress, and then in the next frame put

```auto
gotoAndPlay(_currentframe - 1)

```
