Convert AS3 loader to AS2

programming flash
1

I’ve been using the following code to load swfs with a simple bar preloader. However, I’ve now got a bunch of AS2 swfs to add loaders to and this code wont work.

Is there either:

a) a way to convert this code to as2?

or

b) a workaround that will allow me to load the as2 files into the container with the existing code?

Any help greatly appreciated!

(Here’s the code)


var myMovie:Sprite;
 
var l:Loader = new Loader();
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop, false, 0, true);
l.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done, false, 0, true);
l.load(new URLRequest("movie.swf"));
 
function loop(e:ProgressEvent):void
{
  var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
  percent.text = "Loading " + Math.ceil(perc*100).toString()+"%";
  bar_mc.scaleX = perc; 
}
 
function done(e:Event):void
{
  removeChild(percent);
  percent = null;
 
  myMovie = Sprite(l.content);
 
  addChild(myMovie);
 
  l.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener( ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loop);
  l.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, done);
  l = null;
}

The reason I cant use a simple AS2 loader is that I need to make sure the whole swf has loaded, including library items.
