I’ve asked this before, but it wasn’t the way i wanted it to.

How do you create a preload bar, showing the percentage? Just the number without any % sign after the number.

I want the number to scroll simultaneously at the bottom with the bar.

[Jenniferlopez.com](http://Jenniferlopez.com) has this type of preload. Thanks.

Well there are a lot of tutorials on preloaders, but using this one:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm)

just change this line:

this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent\*100)+"%";

to:

this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent\*100)+"%

And that gives you just the number…

And to make it move with the bar, you can make the dynamic textbox into a movieclip, and link their x coordinates…

hmm, i’ll havta think about that since i’m not too sure. But try this:

[AS]  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.\_x += this.loadBar.\_width  
}  
[/AS]

It might work, most likely not since nothing ever does until i actually try it :P, and i can’t really be stuffed to try it at the moment, so just post the fla after you’ve tried it and i’ll work from there 🙂

oh yea, in the last post, i just noticed both the lines i gave you were the same. You’re suppose to change the line to:

[AS]  
this.loadText = Math.round(getPercent\*100)  
[/AS]

Hmm ok thinking about the first code i gave you again, its definately not going to work :-\

EDIT:  
maybe try:

this.\_x += getpercent\*100

that might work but maybe not either :-\

</div>

Try this instead:

[AS]this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
this.\_x = this.loadBar.\_x + widthofloadbar;  
}  
[/AS]

This should work if the registration point is on the left. If it’s in the middle, add “/2” at the end of widthofloadbar and if the registration point is at the right, delete “+ widthofloadbar”.

Untested though …

Am I suppose to make the dynamic text into a movie clip?

Then apply this action to the first perload frame, but to the same layer as the loadText?

Yes to all your questions 🙂 doesn’t havta be on same layer though, better to put all your actions on a layer called “AS” or “Code” or somethin…

Thanks a lot, it worked!

Now, that’s solved.

Yah, I’m starting a new one. I hate when I do that. I spent two weeks on that, and I start a new one.
