Hello all:

I am using the preloader from [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com) (percentage preloader with loadbar). Scripting (first keyframe) is very straight forward, but my loader is only displaying after about 80% of the flash is loaded. I am not having this problem everywhere. Any suggestions what may be causing it? If so, please email me at [kevin@dicstudios.ca](mailto:kevin@dicstudios.ca) (www.dicstudios.ca).

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);  
}

I thought the aim of a forum was to SHARE problems AND solutions? Why wouldn’t you want to share that with the rest of us?..

Hello again:

By request of my customer, I have not attached any files. I simply thought someone on this forum would have some ideas as to why the preloader will only display after loading about 70% of the movie clip.

Thanks …

Hey there:

So, I checked the forums, and you are right. There is a lot of mention of this problem with MX. I checked all of the linkage in this file, and made sure nothing was exporting to frame 1. Still the file loads to about 70% then the pre-loader shows up. The file is located at “[http://www.dicstudios.ca/fla/file.fla](http://www.dicstudios.ca/fla/file.fla)” and I would sure appreciate it if someone could take a look and get back to me.

Thanks again …

Kevin,

I have that problem with my preloaders all the time… I’ve never really solved it either.
