dear all,

is there any variable like “bytesLoaded” or “totalBytes” for my main swf movie (AS3)? i want to add a movie loader (like percentage or progress bar) in my swf movie.

regards,  
eric.

Have a look at ProgressEvent. You’d add a listener for your loaded-in Flash file.

In Flash’s help, have a look at the example for - AS 3 Language Reference / All Classes / URLLoader class / Methods / load.
