May be the delay at the beginning is caused by a slow connection, e.g. when you try to download a file, the browser sends a request to the server in order to ask whether the file already stored in the browser's cache is updated on the server or not. If the server's response is "not modified", the browser takes the file from the cache, which will take almost no time. But if the connection is slow, the request for checking modification may take a longer time.
RS> Also, if the file is 123Kb, Why does getBytesTotal show 1347693 ? SWFs are mostly compressed files, but getBytesTotal() returns the uncompressed size of the Flash movie, instead of the actual file size.

I'm trying this from spain and the server is in USA, so that might be the problem, I don't know. Anyway, what happens is when I try to load a swf of arround 130Kb and try to print something with onLoadProgress on screen it takes a while to start printing anything at all but then it prints like ten passes through that method and loads the file all at once. Let me explain myself, this is what happens. I click to load the file ... nothing happens ... nothing happens ... nothing happens ... nothing happens (for a second or two) It prints the preloader information I told it to print when it gets throught onLoadProgress (like if it had passed through it 10 times or so) and it shows the loaded file. Everything very very fast. So I'm waiting for it to start showing the upload progress and when it finally does the file has already been loaded but it shows the progress it followed anyway. If the file is larger more or less the same happens, but then I do get to see the loader printing on screen, I only miss the first part. Also, if the file is 123Kb, Why does getBytesTotal show 1347693 ? _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
