Help with a Preloader

[fieldmouse]

I'm wnating to build a preloader for my website, that shows a loading bar to display just how much data is still left to be loaded, but I don't have a clue how to start. Can someone give me detailed instructions, or point me to a good tutorial, to help me with this problem.

Thanks,

Mouse

There is a Tutorial section right here on this site.

You should have a look at some tutorials, it'll help alot.

Here is some of my code:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loaded = _root._level2.getBytesLoaded(); //the number of bytes that's already loaded
total = _root._level2.getBytesTotal(); //the total of bytes
var percent
percent = (loaded/total)*100; //generates the percent var
showpercent = Math.round(percent)+"%"; //shows a percent and %
this.preloadbalk._width = (this.preloaderbar._width/100)*percent; //changes the width of your bar 
if (percent == 100){ //if the var percent is equal to 100 this.nextFrame() will be executed
    this.nextFrame()
    }
} 

Hope it helps you...
