A regular preloader shows the data coming through as chunks the the bar increases in size from 50% to 68% to 90% and then 100%. Is there a way to make the animation of the growing bar smooth? i.e. it grows smoothly from 50 to 51 to 52, etc until it reaches 100% without jumping the way the data actually comes through?

I am using the old good \_root.getBytesLoaded()/\_root.getBytesTotal() to create my preloader.

Extra tips on making a more efficient preloader would be appreciated.
