Operand Error and tips/ guides for beginner on ASP

[siresoth666]

Greeting to everyone, I am a rookie at ASP and this may seem like a very simpleton question to most but I am clueless about it.
I copied a code from a tutorial on to Flash its ASP but it does not work.
It tells me that I have an operand error.

The code is for a preloader in which the numbers run from 0% to 100% on a flash animation. Everything works, except the % numbers do not move. It stays stuck at 99% which is the inital text entered onto the animation.

Here is the original code as I got it:

onClipEvent (load) {
total = _root.getBytesT otal();
}

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loaded = _root.getBytesL oaded();
percent = int(loaded/total*100);
percen1 = “”+percent+”%”;
gotoAndStop(per cent);
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPl ay(2);
}
}

The error I get in Flash 8 is the following:

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 8: Operator '%' must be followed by an operand
percen1 = ('+percent+'%);

**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 9: ')' expected
gotoAndStop(per cent);

Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2


Can someone explain to me what I am doing wrong and also can someone suggest a book or a site for beginners ASP so I can understand why the errors occur?

you assistance is really appreciated.

thank you.

Since percent is an integer, you might try using .toString():

percen1 = “” + percent.toString() + ”%”;
