2. Seperate the outline from the fill into diff layers (shown below)

3. CONVERT the BAR into a movieclip symbol.

4. NAme the BAR instance name as: myBAR

9
Put the following codes in :myLoaded = Math.round(getBytesLoaded());
myTotal = Math.round(getBytesTotal());
myPercent = myLoaded/myTotal;
myBar._width = myPercent*150;
myText = Math.round(myPercent*100)+"%";
if (myLoaded == myTotal) {
gotoAndPlay(3);
} else {
gotoAndPlay(1);
}
YOU ARE
ALMOST DONE!
10. TAKE NOTE THE CODES..for myBar._width = myPercent*150;
( take note the number 150, it is the width of the rect, you will change the value..for example my is..
.
..so I will change my value to 149.9... OR...myBar._width = myPercent*149.9)
You can also change..
if (myLoaded == myTotal) {
gotoAndPlay(3);
(the gotoAndPlay is changable ..c
hange to the scene and frame where your animation is..)
YOU ARE DONE!!!! GO TEST YOUR MOVIE!!!!
Change to your own rect or whatever..BE CREATIVE!!..:).hope it helped..Jon did it.
