.........tell my mc to goto a variable..... please.......

[ChrisG]

Never Mind:
I figured it out.
I had to use the with method instead of tell target.




I'm making a loading sequence with a 3D cube that fills as the movie loaded percentage increases. I made my mc with 100 frames and a stop action on frame 1 so it won't just play through and gave it an instance name of loadbar.

Here's the code that doesn't work:

loaded = getBytesLoaded();
total = getBytesTotal();
x = loaded*100/total;
x = Math.round (x);
y = x + "%";
per = (total - loaded);
if (per>1) {
tellTarget ("_root.loadbar") {
gotoAndStop (x);
}
gotoAndPlay (1);
} else {
play ();
}

The x variable is a whole number and works for the percentage text field but my mc does nothing.
