Using the “**[color=Red]Photo Gallery Using XML and Flash[/color]**” from the site, basicly ALL i want to do is replace the graphical preloader with just a dynamic text boxes that just has “file size loaded, file size remaining, percent loaded” [itd be done as three seperate dynamic text boxes using the values

[color=DarkSlateBlue]totalBytes = this.getBytesTotal();  
loadedBytes = this.getBytesLoaded();  
remainingBytes = totalBytes - loadedBytes  
percentDone = int((loadedBytes/totalBytes)\*100);[/color]

or something of the sort [this is all theory/whatever till i try to get it working haha!]

I guess the way to do it would be to replace the preloader with a dynamic text field(s) or something and then change the code

[color=Navy]if (loaded != filesize) {  
preloader.preload\_bar.\_xscale = 100\*loaded/filesize;  
} else {  
preloader.\_visible = false; [/color]

to something like  
[color=Indigo]  
if (loaded != filesize) {  
**BLA BLA BLA WHATEVER WHATEVER**  
} else {  
preloader.\_visible = false;[/color]

Any help or pointers muchly appreciated!! Ill work on it and post any results up here too!
