here’s my preloader,  
I followed a tutorial from [actionscript.org](http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/advanced/flash_MX_loader/index.shtml) , the tricky part is that i wanted to change the Kb to a % display and it’s messing up.

Here’s the previous code [AS]lastFrame = 1;

function loadedIndicatorFrame() {  
var newFrame = int((\_parent.getBytesLoaded() / \_parent.getBytesTotal()) \* 65) + 2;  
if (newFrame - lastFrame \> 4) { //too far  
lastFrame += 4;  
loadedText = int(\_parent.getBytesTotal() / 1024 \* (lastFrame - 2) / 65) + "kb of " + int(\_parent.getBytesTotal() / 1024) + “kb”;  
} else if (newFrame - lastFrame \> 0) { //normal move  
lastFrame++;  
loadedText = int(\_parent.getBytesLoaded() / 1024) + "kb of " + int(\_parent.getBytesTotal() / 1024) + “kb”;  
} else { //update the text only  
loadedText = int(\_parent.getBytesLoaded() / 1024) + "kb of " + int(\_parent.getBytesTotal() / 1024) + “kb”;  
}  
return lastFrame;  
}  
[/AS]

And here’s mine[AS]lastFrame = 1;

function loadedIndicatorFrame() {  
var newFrame = Math.round(\_parent.getBytesLoaded())/Math.round(\_parent.getBytesTotal()) \* 52 + 2;  
if (newFrame - lastFrame \> 4) { //too far  
lastFrame += 4;  
loadedText = Math.round(\_parent.getBytesLoaded())/Math.round(\_parent.getBytesTotal())\*100 + “%”;  
} else if (newFrame - lastFrame \> 0) { //normal move  
lastFrame++;  
loadedText = Math.round(\_parent.getBytesLoaded())/Math.round(\_parent.getBytesTotal())\*100 + “%”;  
} else { //update the text only  
loadedText = Math.round(\_parent.getBytesLoaded())/Math.round(\_parent.getBytesTotal())\*100 + “%”;  
}  
return lastFrame;[/AS]  
I post the fla, maybe someone can point me to what’s wrong :h:  
Thanks
