I have made this loadthing that only shows the progress in percent, but I only see 99% and 100%! I’m not good at explaining, but I hope you get it 😉 Here’s what I have done: I have 3 keyframes, and in the third I have the clip itself with a stop(); actionscript. In the first frame i have a dynamic text square that has the instant name ‘myOutput’. The actionscript for that frame is: percent = Math.floor(getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal()\*100); myOutput.text = percent + “% is loaded”; In the second frame I just copied the text square, but I changed the actionscript to: if (percent == 100){ gotoAndStop(3); }else{ gotoAndPlay(1); } What did I do wrong? Thank you in advance! ---

is it getting to the third frame? Prophet. PS i just use the code in the kirupa tutorial… obviously i tweak it wen i need to but it works so i use it. simple. EDIT:- wats the “math.floor” bit? wuldnt u rather round it? ive no idea wat flooring it does (in a mathmatical sense) but if its not gettin to the third frame id say its coz its reached a number which is just lower than 100 and therfore isnt a true %age value, hence its not meeting the final condition. ---

this on the first frame will give a truly bare bottom loader: //setup variables for movie check totalNum= \_root.getBytesTotal(); loadedNum= \_root.getBytesLoaded(); //calculate percentage loaded percentage= loadedNum/totalNum\*100; //dynamic text box with instance name percentLoaded displays calculated value +"% Loaded" percentLoaded.text= percentage + “% Loaded”; if(loadedNum=totalNum){ gotoAndPlay(“3”) } else {play(); } this is assuming you have a clip or something else on frame 3. sam ---

😛 Floor IS rounding in a sense, it rounds down to nearest integer as opposed to ceil (ceiling) which rounds up. From the flash reference: > The floor is the closest integer that is less than or equal to the specified number or expression. The ceiling of a number is the closest integer that is greater than or equal to the number. :hr: ---

thanks maximum\_flash! I’m gonna try that right now! 😃 EDIT: It doesn’t work, but thanks anyway! EDIT2: Haha, it DOES work, i just mixed one thing up! thanks man! EDIT3: the third edit! 😃 This has the same problem, it’s blank, blank, blank, blank, 100% loaded and then it pops up! oh, by the way: Yes prophet, it’s getting to the third frame. ---

There’s probably alot of stuff in the first frame, hit ctrl+B to check;) scotty(-: ---

3 meg?? bloody hell i aint downloadin that! wats on it?? i thout it was just a preloader? blimey guvnor!! Prophet. PS ok this mite sound stupid but it mite be getting to 100% and imediately switchin to frame 3 before you see it. hav u got a dynamic text box on frame 3 to see if it actually gets to 100? coz if ur rounding it and your using the variable value then it mite be switchin too fast weras if u use getBytesLoaded() == getBytesTotal() then it should round to 100 before it actually gets there… try it, hav a look, u never know 😉 PPS im on 56 k - y i aint downloadin it!! 😉 PPPS uno thers a tutorials section with this stuff in right? its got about the “scrollable text thing” in ther… (basic version neway) ---

> even if that was the case (but it’s not ), the loader would work right? I think I wasn’t clear, when you test your movie hit ctrl+B and you would have seen this [SIZE=1](see attachment)[/SIZE] You’re loading almost your complete movie on frame 1(except for 192 B) before the preloader can start working. scotty(-: ---

And, i see “100% loaded” for like 1/10 of a sec before the actual page shows up, but i’ll have a look ;). EDIT: and thanks scotty, i’m gonna try that as well! ---
