Hey guys,

I have this simple preloader.  
Works well.but…

part of the code:  
percent\_done = int((loaded\_bytes/total\_bytes)\*101);

This only dispalys the number on the percent\_done textfield.  
i want it to have a percent sign. like 1\*\*% **-100** %\*\*.

Cant figure out what to add to that line of code.  
Can someone please help me out.  
Thanks in advance.

Thought it would be easy. Weird that nobody knows.  
Got it anyway.

x = int((loaded\_bytes/total\_bytes)\*101);  
percent\_done = x + “%”
