Hello. I am working on a photo gallery and I am trying to make a preloader. But something is wrong.  
I am using this code:

function startLoading(whichImage) {  
\_root.onEnterFrame = function() {  
infoLoaded = imageLoader.getBytesLoaded();  
infoTotal = imageLoader.getBytesTotal();  
percentage = Math.floor(infoLoaded/infoTotal\*100);  
infoField.text = percentage + " %";  
if (percentage \>= 100) {  
loadMovie(whichImage, “imageLoader”);  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
infoField.\_visible = false;  
}  
};  
}

The problem is that infoField is showing only 0% and 100%.  
Could someone guide me to the right way?  
And for example if I have an xml file and load thumbnails from it how do I show the progress for each thumbnail or in a text box something like this: 5/10 loaded.  
Thank you.
