I am having a problem with Dynamic Text.
If I set the text in a Movie Clip's OnClipEvent
then all is well and the changed text displays.

However, if I set the text in a script that is IN a
frame, the changed text does not display.

I am making a loader, and in the frame's
script I am checking the bytes loaded, and calculating
a percentage. In the frame's script I bump the frame for
a status bar (making it longer), and also set the text
to the percentage number.

Can you not change Dynamic Text objects' text in a frame script?

Even if I modify the code below to keep changing the text
(taking out the test for == 100), the "100%" text never displays.
A trace shows the correct text, but the Dynamic Text object does
not.


Here is the code:

var vLoaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
var vTotal = _root.getBytesTotal();
var vPerc = Math.round(100 * vLoaded/vTotal);
_root.Percent_Loaded_txt.text = " " + vPerc + "%";
_root.StepItBar.gotoAndStop(Math.round(10 *
(_root.getBytesLoaded()/_root.getBytesTotal())) );
if (vPerc == 100)
{
_root.gotoAndPlay("Scene2", 1);
}
else
{
_root.gotoAndPlay("preloader", 1);
}


I realize the above code could be shorter, but I made all the
temp variables for debugging.
