hi dave. thanks for your response. i understand the problem. but i am
now resetting currentWeight to 0 directly after i test what percentage
i'm at and i'm still getting skewed values:
here is my code:
mclListener.onLoadProgress = function( targetMC, loadedBytes, totalBytes )
{
currentWeight += loadedBytes;
var currentPercentage = Math.floor( ( currentWeight /
totalWeight ) * 100 );
if( currentPercentage % 10 == 0 )
{
trace( "another 10% completed" );
}
switch( String( currentPercentage ) )
{
case "10" :
trace( "10% has loaded..." );
break;
case "20" :
trace( "20% has loaded..." );
break;
// etc...etc....);
}
currentWeight = 0;
};
when i test each external swf individually, i still get skewed
results, for example:
swf1 = 312KB = 316,020 bytes // the trace value is 353,483
// NOW ADD
swf2 987K = 1330176 byets // the trace value is 1079498
// THEN ADD THIS
swf3 2.6MB = 4056473 bytes// the trace value is 2819958
i just can't seem to get this right. is there a better way i can approach this?
thanks again for your help. -- matt.
