onEnterFrame belongs to the MovieClip class, it's an event handler
called each frame. if you attach it to _root (the stage, the main
timeline of your SWF) you can refer to the SWF as "this":
class Main {
public static function main ():Void {
_root.onEnterFrame = function () {
if( ( this.bytesLoaded() > 4 ) && ( this.bytesLoaded() ==
this.totalFrame() ) ) {
// done loading
delete this.onEnterFrame;
trace( "loaded." );
Main.displayContent();
} else {
// not loaded yet, display percentage or whatever
}
};
}
public static function displayContent ():Void {
// whatever
}
}
this isn't tested, but should give you the basic idea.
