gotoandplay the % loaded?

[big_k]

ok... i have a preloader and all that, and i have it so it creates a number 1-50 to show the progress of the load.

now, i have an mc with 50 frames, and i want it to go to the frame that coincides with the number 1-50 as its being loaded... does this make sense?

the variable for the number is tearprogress, and the mc is called tear

i've tried the code _root.tear.gotoandStop(tearprogress); but that doesent work...

anyone know what to do?

could it be that _root.tear isn't actually fully loaded when you try to reference it?

no thats what the point of the animation is...
the animation is supposed to play along according to the speed of the loading...

when the loading is at 20% the animation will be on frame 10, at 50% the animation will be on frame 25, etc.

here is an example of whats happening

after the main site loads (may take a bit) click on the blue box
that will load an external jpg into the left frame

in the left frame, you will see a number appear... thats the 1-50 number i am talking about... inside the frame, there is an animation of the background tearing away... thats the animation that i want to represent loading. i want it to begin at 1 and be fully torn off at 50... now it just loops over and over...

can anyone help?
it would be very much appreciated

two quick questions:
are you using Math.round on the loaded percentage before using it as a reference for the framenumber?
have you placed a stop() action on frame 50 of the tearaway?

not using math.round

i figured that since the numbers were sometimes decimals it might not work, but dont know how to do it...

no stop action yet, because i wanted to see if it would keep looping or if it would play the frames like its supposed to

[pelegku]

Math.round() to get a number so that u can acces the frames

[big_k]

ok... where in this code would i put the math.round?
(i have no idea how to use math.round)

tearprogress = ((_root.holder.getBytesLoaded()/_root.holder.getBytesTotal())*50);
_root.tear.gotoAndStop(tearprogress);

[idi]

tearprogress = Math.round(((_root.holder.getBytesLoaded()/_root.holder.getBytesTotal())*50));
_root.tear.gotoAndStop(tearprogress);
