Can’t fine any info on this, sorry.

How do you use a movie on a timeline as a preloader?

So a movie is placed on the stage and is played 1 - 100 frames like a preloader does.

Here’s the code I have now:

[AS]  
bytes\_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());  
bytes\_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
this.loadBarFill.\_width = getPercent_100;  
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent_100)+"%";  
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(7);  
}

[/AS]

Thanks
