Simple text preloader?

[sylviada]

Hi everyone, I'm new to Flash and these forums, and was wondering if someone can tell me or show me a link to a AS3 tutorial for a simple flash preloader? I'm using Flash CS4. I just want a SIMPLE preloader that says "Loading" and the percentage next to it. That's it. No progress bar or fancy image to go with it. I've been Googling for the past 3 hours and all the tutorials i'm finding are either for AS2 or they have a progress bar in the preloader, thus adding more stuff to the code that I don't understand or probably won't need. Thank you!

Place this code in frame 1

stop();

var TxtLoad:TextField = new TextField();

TxtLoad.x = 0;

TxtLoad.y = 0;

TxtLoad.width = 200;

TxtLoad.height = 50;

this.addChild(TxtLoad);

this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onLoadingProgress);

function onLoadingProgress(e:Event):void

{

   var nBytesTotal:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesTotal;

   var nBytesLoaded:Number = this.stage.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;

   var nPercLoad:Number = Math.floor((nBytesLoaded/nBytesTotal)*100);

   TxtLoad.text = "Loading... " + nPercLoad + "%";

   if (nBytesTotal == nBytesLoaded)

   {

      this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onLoadingProgress);

      trace("Loading Done.. Continue executing code here");

   }

}
