getBytesLoaded etc. from index.swf through loadMovie

programming flash
1

Maybe not the best description of this topic :wink:

I´m loading swf:s into my main movie to an empty MC (holder) and would like to have a preloader in my mainmovie to handle the preloading of all swf:s that I load. Using this code in my mainmovie.

[AS]

bytes_loaded = holder.Math.round(getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = holder.Math.round(getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
this.loadBarH._width = (getPercent*100)1.5;
this.loadTextH = Math.round(getPercent100)+"%";
this.loadTotalH = getBytesTotal()/1000;
this.loadSofarH = getBytesLoaded()/1000;

AS]

But this do not work from me :slight_smile:

Anybody please please

Try this…

[AS]holder.onEnterFrame = function(){
bytes_loaded = holder.Math.round(getBytesLoaded());
bytes_total = holder.Math.round(getBytesTotal());
getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
this.loadBarH._width = (getPercent*100)1.5;
//give textbox an instance name of “loadTextH” (no quotes)
this.loadTextH.text = Math.round(getPercent100)+"%";
if (bytes_loaded > 0 && bytes_loaded >= bytes_total){
//do this
}
}[/AS]

Liked the idea to use the instance name instead but unfortunately no go.

Ok, I have no idea why, but I didn’t finish editing that script before I posted my reply :sure: 'DOH!

[AS]
holder.onEnterFrame = function(){
this.bytes_loaded = Math.round(getBytesLoaded());
this.bytes_total = Math.round(getBytesTotal());
this.getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
loadBarH._width = (this.getPercent*100)1.5;
//give textbox an instance name of “loadTextH” (no quotes)
loadTextH.text = Math.round(this.getPercent100)+"%";
if (this.bytes_loaded > 0 && this.bytes_loaded >= this.bytes_total){
//do this
}
}
[/AS]

And if that doesn’t work, try the below link…

Can´t get it to work?

Tried this instead but with no luck

[AS]
this.loadTotalH.text = holder.loadTotal;

if (this.loadTotalH.text == 100) {
gotoAndPlay (“out”);
}
[/AS]

Haven´t anybody else used something to check when a swf is fully loaded and then had the main movie to do something?

Pleasw lostinbeta help me :egg:

Attaching the fla incase someones wants to take a peek.

7

does it have to say this.getBytesLoaded() ?

8

usually when no target is specified “this” is the target by default, but using this.getBytesLoaded() and this.getBytesTotal() is worth a try.

9

Hi again :slight_smile:
What does it mean when I get “NaN” in the textbox?

10

NaN = Not a Number

11

So when using this code

[AS]holder.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.bytes_loaded = Math.round(getBytesLoaded());
this.bytes_total = Math.round(getBytesTotal());
this.getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;
loadBarH._width = (this.getPercent*100)1.5;
// give textbox an instance name of “loadTextH” (no quotes)
loadTextH.text = Math.round(this.getPercent100)+"%";[/AS]

I get a NaN in my textbox? I don´t get why the Math.round should give numbers to the loadTextH textbox.
Sorry to bug you time and time again but I can´t figure this one out. All my code looked ok and your code look great but I can´t get it to work…very frustrating.

12

Oops

this.getPercent = bytes_loaded/bytes_total;

should be

this.getPercent = this.bytes_loaded/this.bytes_total;

Also try using this.getBytesLoaded() and this.getBytesTotal() , it doesn’t hurt to try it, and it’s good coding practice (which im not showing much of today…lol)

13

Got the textfield to respond to the code but it just stands on 100% from the begining. And the loadbar don´t get it either.

The code as it looks now.

[AS]holder.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
this.bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
this.getPercent = this.bytes_loaded/this.bytes_total;
loadBarH._width = (this.getPercent*100)1.5;
// give textbox an instance name of “loadTextH” (no quotes)
loadTextH.text = Math.round(this.getPercent100)+"%";
}

[/AS]

If you are testing on your computer it will always be at 100. Not event CTRL+Enter+Enter (Show streaming) can work for dynamically loaded in content, that always loads like lightning. You will have to test it on a server to actually test it (making sure not to cache your images or it will load quick anyway… you can do a search for no cache code on the forum).

And if this doesn’t work theres always that link I posted before. I know for a fact that code works, I use it all the time :sigh:

15

Thx for all your help lost I´ll figure the rest out. :slight_smile:

16

Err me again and another sleepless night but I can´t for the life of me figure this one out please have a look at the fla and help mie out with what is wrong?

THX

Hi again lost sorry to bug you with this again but I can´t get it to work?!!! After 2 weeks of this I´m pretty messed up :slight_smile:

This code goes into the MC that the swf:s are loaded into?

[AS]holder.onEnterFrame = function() {
this.bytes_loaded = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded());
this.bytes_total = Math.round(this.getBytesTotal());
this.getPercent = this.bytes_loaded/this.bytes_total;
_root.loadBar._width = (this.getPercent*100)1.5;
// give textbox an instance name of “loadText” (no quotes)
_root.loadText.text = Math.round(this.getPercent100)+"%";
}

[/AS]

And is it the instance name of the MC or the name that should be adressed ( instance name holder and name mc_holder tried both but no go).

attaching the fla so you may se my problem.

Others feel free to have a whack at this as well have been bugin´alot of people with this and have gotten a sollution from Claudio but that didn´t fit with my “build” of the fla.

DESPERATE!!!
