// function to load an external .swf function ploader() { // swf file to load loadMovieNum("bigfile.swf", 1); _root.onEnterFrame = function() { tBytes = getBytesTotal(); bLoaded = getBytesLoaded(); percent = (bLoaded/tBytes) * 100; if (bLoaded < tBytes){ _root.pBar_mc._xscale = (bLoaded/tBytes)*100; _root.pBar_mc.label_txt.text = percent & " % LOADED" } else { //plays the main movie and deletes preloader //play(); //_root.pBar_mc.unloadMovie(); delete this.onEnterFrame; } } } // call the preloader ploader(); regards, edward _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com 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
