If you mean that you want to display the amount of time left till the end of the download, the first thing you’ll have to do is calculate the bandwidth of the user. Then it’s a piece of cake 🙂

pom :cool:

basic layout for preloader stuff:

```auto

percentLoaded = (getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal())*100;

kilobytesLoaded = getBytesLoaded()/1024;
kilobytesRemaining = (getBytesTotal()-getBytesLoaded())*1024;

// startTime = getTimer(); <-when you start the loading process
timeTaken = (getTimer() - startTime)/1000;
estimatedTimeRemaining = getBytesTotal()*(timeTaken/getBytesLoaded()) - timeTaken;

if (percentLoaded == 100) movieIsLoaded == true

```
