i recently saw a web site where u click on a button, a bar comes over the content, says loading and shows a load bar and then when its done loading, slides the bar back to show new content. i started lookin around the tutorials and found this tutorial : [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader\_transition.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/preloader_transition.htm) , wich is exactly what i wanted… except for there is no load bar. now im not great with action scripting(or any scripting for that matter) but i tried to add my own script to it. this is what i did … i made a box on a new layer, made it a mc, and named it/gave it an instance name of loadbar(with a registration from the left side). then i went and added this script to the mc that the other swf files would be loaded into…

onClipEvent(enterFrame){  
var bytes\_total;  
var bytes\_loaded;  
var getPercent;  
if(bytes\_total != bytes\_loaded){  
bytes\_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());  
bytes\_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());  
getPercent = bytes\_loaded/bytes\_total;  
\_root.loadBar.\_width = getPercent\*100;  
}  
}

after messing with a whole lot i figured i would admit defeat and ask for some help. thanx guys.  
[im using mx]
