Unhappy help with chmod (files only)

hello,

i want to chmod 444 all files in a directory, files in subdirs cannot be chmoded same goes for the subdirs themself.

So using:

Code:
chmod -R 444 /dir/
won't work because it will chmod the directorys and files (together with files in subdirectorys)

I figured out how to chmod files only, but it still will chmod files in subdirectorys.

Code:
find /dir/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 444
How can I do it?
