Actionscript problem...

I'm attempting a preloader which is usually god-easy but for some reason,
_root.getBytesLoaded()
stays constant at 70929... and
_root.getBytesTotal()
is 248961...

Here's my actionscript, it's the only actionscript present anywhere in the preloader and it's on a seperate layer of the main timeline.
(Disregard the <?php ?> tags, if I use the code tags it doesn't color or indent...)

PHP:

<?php

var_percent = 0;
while (var_percent<99) {
    var var_loading = _root.getBytesLoaded();
    var var_total = _root.getBytesTotal();
    var var_percent = var_loading/var_total;
    trace(var_loading);
    trace(var_total);
    trace(var_percent);
    mc_loadBar._width = var_percent*200;
    if (var_percent>99) {
        _root.gotoAndStop(5);
    }
}

?>

Dont know if its the cause of your problem or if im even thinking straight but..

var var_percent = (var_loading/var_total)*100;

to get a percentage, otherwise your var_percent will only '.99' rather than '99' ??

Oops...
But it doesn't fix the problem unfortunately...

EDIT:
I fixed the problem somehow...
New code:

PHP:

<?php

var_loaded = (getBytesLoaded()/getBytesTotal());
mc_loadbar._width = var_loaded*200;
if (var_loaded>0.9) {
    trace(var_loaded);
    gotoAndStop(5);
}

?>
