please have a look at :

[http://www.brineleas.co.uk/sample/index.html](http://www.brineleas.co.uk/sample/index.html)

its a site I am currently in development for a school. However I have modified my preloader, but it does not seem to fully reach the other end of the bar. Yes the bar has been modified and extended, but surely the principles are still the same as before.

Can anyone explain why I am having this slight problem?

It looks to me that the bar u’re scaling (when its \_xscale = 100) is smaller (not as wide) as the background bar

the background bar is exactly the same size as the loadBar, That is what is odd. The load bar is that size.

I didn’t see a problem with the loadbar. We’re talking about the main loadbar right ? If you want to be absolutely sure it reaches 100 let it fade out when loaded, so you can see what size it has.
