I’m using Flash MX (not 2004)
I’m trying to create a preloader that I can place on thumbnails and an image display as they load their respective JPEG images. The problem is that I do not know how to get the load progress since getBytesLoaded() and getBytesTotal() do not seem to be working.
I looked into using listeners but all I can find is information about pairing listeners with the movieClipLoader class that I do not have access to.
Can someone enlighten me about how to get the load progress using Flash MX? I can easily create the rest of the preloader from there.
If its important, I have an empty movie clip called IMGHolder and use IMGHolder.loadMovie(MyIMGPath) to load the JPEG. So I’ve tried IMGHolder.getBytesLoaded() and it either returns 0 (initially) or the full 1901666 (end) bytes.
Further, if you think, rather if you KNOW, that .getBytesLoaded() should be working please let me know so I can try and figure out where its going wrong. Thank you.
