Actually, this *can* be done in javascript. CheckPlayer (http://checkplayer.flensed.com/) is a helper library to SWFObject that implements an event call back with load progress events, including the percentage of load. So, you can actually have a callback function in javascript notified when the flash downloading progress is occuring, and armed with those notices, you can update your HTML/Javascript load progress indicator.
The "secret" CheckPlayer uses to do this is the oft-missed "PercentLoaded" function that you can call against a SWF that is loading. So, using that you could roll your own code to do the same thing. But CheckPlayer has done it for you, so you might want to check that out. :) --Kyle -------------------------------------------------- From: "Adam Fridental" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 25, 2008 4:31 AM To: "SWFObject" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Need help conserning Onload on SWFObjects > > Thanks a lot for your help.
