I read a tutorial on preloaders which gave me this actionscript text.

bytes\_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());  
bytes\_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
this.loadBar.\_width = getPercent_100;  
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent_100)+"%";  
if (bytes\_loaded == bytes\_total) {  
this.gotoAndPlay(3);  
}

It worked however, instead of having the bar color load from left to right, I wish to have it from bottom to top. Do I change the “width” word to “height” and then make the registration point the bottom center?

Thank you
