Sorry, I responded too early...
(and forgot to change the subject line-- where's that coffee?!?)
What I'm looking for is actually the "totalframes" of the movieclip
I'm loading-- not bytes.
The MovieClipLoader class doesn't seem to provide this-- and I can't
even get this when the clip is fully loaded.
Is this information available at all from "outside" a loaded clip?
Thanks,
--Dave

Thanks Chris, good to know.
So there's no good Flash 6 solution?
Yeah, this is a problem in flash. A better loading method is to
use the
MovieClipLoader class:
var mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
mcl.loadClip("movie.swf",_root.clipToLoadIn);
mcl.addListener(this);
onLoadProgress = function(target_mc:MovieClip, bytesLoaded:Number,
bytesTotal:Number) {
trace("loaded="+bytesLoaded+", total="+bytesTotal);
};

Hey all,
After using loadMovie on a blank movieclip, I do:
onClipEvent(data) {
trace("loaded="+this._framesloaded+",
total="+this._totalframes);
}
...which always gives:
loaded=16000, total=65535
(both values should be way smaller)
Yet _currentframe reports the correct value... is there something
I'm
missing?
Thanks in advance,
--Dave
p.s. is there a way to search the flashcoders archives?
