Need help with actionscript

[LilDwarf]

I modified the NG preloader to what I like but I also wanted to combine it with a percentage preloader but I don't know where/what script to put. I went to the Ultimate Tutorial but it doesn't work. Remember that it's the NG preloader modified so can someone help me?

Make a dynamic text box, and set it's instance name to percent, now in frame one put this:

_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
var total = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.ge
tBytesTotal());
var per = Math.round(total*100);
percent.txt = per;
if(per == 100) {
_root.gotoAndStop(/*Insert whatever*/);
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
}

Now I dont have flash open or anything so Im not 100% sure that'll work :P but it should..

Awesome thanks ^_^ I'll see if it works and give feedback on it. Also another question is how do you know when to use actionscript in a movie? What I mean by this is if you use it on something besides buttons?

You could make some scripted effects (like rain).I don't really get what you're asking

There should be a percent variable there, anyway. Just makea text box with whatever it's called.

Where is AS used? Well, have you ever wondered how games are made?

I now have a computer on school that has flash so here's the code:

stop();
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
bl = _root.getBytesLoaded();
bt = _root.getBytesTotal();
per= Math.round((bl/bt)*100);
percent.text = per;
if(per >= 100)
nextScene();
}
