preloader framerate of mc

[mlecho]

hey guys.

i understand how to make a bar in the preloader grow. i learned to make a variable called "percent" which is essentially the difference of bytesloaded to bytestotal. The next step i want to accomplish is to make a movieclip play at the speed at which the percent is growing. That is to say, this mc will be like a little entertainer until the movie is loaded...but the last frame of the mc will arrive at 100%. Any ideas to controling the frame rate of the mc to equal that of the loading process?

Do you mean that if your MC had 20 frames in total, then, for example, when preloader was at 50% you want it to go to frame 10? If so, use

my_mc.gotoAndStop(Math.floor(my_mc._totalframes/100 * percent));
