Hey all I’m trying to get my head around preloaders and am getting there just confused with the maths part of it all.
the preloader I have is basically a movieclip where once a certain amount of bytes are loaded it will go to the next frame of the movieclip
because I want to do it on the basis of bytes i want the number of bytes to equal the number of frames within the movieclip - hope this makes sense so far.
Heres the info from my flash movie:
Movie:
dim: 750 X 400 pixels
fr rate: 30.0 fr/sec
size: 40KB (41118B)
duration: 3fr (0.1s)
preload: 355fr (11.8s)
Settings:
Bandwidth: 4800 B/s (160 B/fr)
State:
Frame: 2
0KB (98B)
loaded: 100% (3 frames)
55KB (57195B)

AND HERE IS THE CODE ON MY PRELOADER:
#####################################
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
_root.totalBytesBox = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal()/41118);
_root.loadedBytesBox = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded()/41118);
totalBytes = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal()/41118);
loadedBytes = Math.round(_root.getBytesLoaded()/41118);
if (loadedBytes<2) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label1”);
} else if (loadedBytes<4) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label2”);
} else if (loadedBytes<6) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label3”);
} else if (loadedBytes<8) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label4”);
} else if (loadedBytes<10) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label5”);
} else if (loadedBytes<12) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label6”);
} else if (loadedBytes<14) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label7”);
} else if (loadedBytes<16) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label8”);
} else if (loadedBytes<18) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label9”);
} else if (loadedBytes<20) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label10”);
} else if (loadedBytes<22) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label11”);
} else if (loadedBytes<24) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label12”);
} else if (loadedBytes<26) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label13”);
} else if (loadedBytes<28) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label14”);
} else if (loadedBytes<30) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label15”);
} else if (loadedBytes<32) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label16”);
} else if (loadedBytes<34) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label17”);
} else if (loadedBytes<36) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label18”);
} else if (loadedBytes<38) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label19”);
} else if (loadedBytes<40) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label20”);
} else if (loadedBytes<42) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label21”);
} else if (loadedBytes<44) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label22”);
} else if (loadedBytes<46) {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label23”);
} else {
_root.text.gotoAndStop(“label24”);
}
}
can someone tell me how many bytes I have in my movie - looking at the movie info (and how I find this info out) and also what the mathround number should be: [ _root.totalBytesBox = Math.round(_root.getBytesTotal()/41118);]
here I have put 41118 - what should it be and how do I work that out?
Sorry for the extra long Q
Hoping somebody can help
