Flash Preloader help!

[Espinobj]

I am building a preloader with Flash CS4 however in getting a couple of errors and i dont know why. I listed the errors and code below can some one help me.


1071: Syntax error: expected a definition keyword (such as function) after attribute scale, not x.

1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before semicolon.




stop();

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loaderF);

function loaderF (e:Event): void {
var toLoad:Number = loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
var loaded:Number = loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
var total:Number = loaded/toLoad;
if (loaded == toLoad){
removeEventListener (EVENT.ENTER_FRAME, loaderF);
gotoAndStop("homepage1");
} else {
preloader_mc.preloaderFill_mc.scale x = total:
preloader_mc.precent_txt.text = Math.floor (total*100) + "%":
preloader_mc.ofbytes.txt.text = loaded + "bytes":
preloader_mc.totalBytes.txt.text = toLoad + "bytes";
}
}

Don't think you're in the right forum, but your problem appears to be on line:

preloader_mc.preloaderFill_mc.scale x = total:

I've never dabbled in this scripting language, but is it valid to have 'x' floating behind the variable name and before the assignment (=)? Maybe you meant scale.x?
