AS2 / AS3 Flash Preloader issue.

Question

[ moved from AS1/2 forum ]
Hi every one,
I'm testing the new capabilities on Flash Pro CS6. And I'm stuck around here as most of my coding are AS1 / AS2 and when I try to make the coding for AS3 one part of my pre-loading is not functional any more. Basically the Dynamic Text does not shows up. Maybe if you take a look into my code you can tell me where I'm wrong.
This is the new AS3 code for my preload scene. I have created this stage to load just one image on the 2nd frame. And it works except for the text that it does not displays the text inside the following instances: percent_txt, ofBytes_txt and totalBytes_txt
I appreciate any ideas you may provide to me pls.
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(2);
          } else {
                    preloader_mc.preloaderFill_mc.scaleX = total;
                    preloader_mc.percent_txt.text = Math.floor(total*100)+ "%";
                    preloader_mc.ofBytes_txt.text = loaded + "bytes";
                    preloader_mc.totalBytes_txt.text = toLoad + "bytes";
This is the result when testing,
Thank you so much and kind regards !!
Joel.

You have to set the values initally
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;
          preloader_mc.preloaderFill_mc.scaleX = total; 
          preloader_mc.percent_txt.text = Math.floor(total*100)+ "%";
          preloader_mc.ofBytes_txt.text = loaded + "bytes";
          preloader_mc.totalBytes_txt.text = toLoad + "bytes";
     if(loaded == toLoad) {
       removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loaderF);
                    gotoAndStop(2);
what you original code was saying was after all the info was loaded to then set the text to the variables listed, you have to set it first and once the info is finally loaded go to the second frame.
