1. stop ();
2. _root . createTextField ( "myload_txt" , 1 , 0 , 0 , 0 , 0 );
3. with ( _root . myload_txt ) { //set text
4. background = true ; // background
5. backgroundColor = 0x336699 ;
6. textColor = 0xFFFFFF ;
7. type = "dynamic"
8. selectable = false ;
9. autoSize = "center" ;
10. _x = Stage.width/2;
11. _y = Stage.height/2;
12. }
13. onEnterFrame = function () {
14. var Loaded = _root . getBytesLoaded ();
15. var Total = _root . getBytesTotal ();
16. _root . myload_txt . text = Math . floor (( Loaded / Total )* 100 )+ "%" ;
