    You want to display the amount loaded?

    make a text box and give it a variable name "loaded" in the properties inspector

    create a layer called "actions" and put this code in it

    loaded = getBytesLoaded();

    sometimes you need to add "_root." before the variable name (w/o quotes) in the text box.

    Do you really have a Flash file that big? I'd work on shrinking that down, it's way too big unless it's like a 15 minute video clip. If I had to sit thru a 9mb Flash download I'd expect to see something that blows me away.
