HI all! I’m new to the forum. I decided to join this Flash forum because of the assume tourtorial Kirupa has ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm)). The only thing that I can’t seem to figure out about this toutorial is why my bar seems to be shorter when it plays then it is on the stage. MY stage is 320 X 300 and my bar is 230 X 25. I’ve checked my registration point and it is in the right place I think. Does anyone have any ideas what may cause this? I’m attaching a smaller version of my swf so you can take a look at it if you want. Thanks in advance!
