endless loop in script (Actionscript)

[Adam]

I'm trying to create a simple flash slideshow for a website i'm creating. I'm currently creatign a very simple preloader for it.

 

i have a movie clip with the instance name of "loadbar" which I will make bigger to represent how much has been loaded - fairly standard.

 

Here's my script at the moment:

setProperty(loadbar,_width,0);

b_loaded = getBytesLoaded();
b_total = getBytesTotal();

l_width = 185;

while (b_loaded < b_total) {
p_loaded = b_loaded / b_total * 100;
single = p_loaded / 100;
new_width = single * l_width;

setProperty(loadbar,_width,new_width);
b_loaded = getBytesLoaded();
}

gotoAndPlay(2);

 

But when I "Simulate" the download, it's causing an endless loop and crashing the program.

 

Anybody know why it's not working ??

 

-Thanks

Can't really see why that wouldn't be working (I'm no actionscript programmer), but you might try....

 

while (getBytesLoaded() < b_total) {

 

and remove....

 

b_loaded = getBytesLoaded();
