I have a flash file with a 200 meg video file in it. I want to run a pre-loader and indicate the file is loading. I have a stop action script built into my first keyframs and on a seperate layer the following action script:
[font=Arial][size=2]onClipEvent (load) {
total = _root.getBytesTotal();
}
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
loaded = _root.getBytesLoaded();
percent = int(loaded/total*100);
text = “loading… “+percent+”%”;
gotoAndStop(percent);
if (loaded == total) {
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}[/size][/font]
[font=Arial][/font]
[font=Arial]When I click to load the movie, there is a 4 - 5 second delay before I get my Loading text. The file then loads rather quickly and the video file plays. [/font]
[font=Arial][/font]
[font=Arial]I need the loading text to come up immediately, so the user will know what is going on.[/font]
[font=Arial][/font]
[font=Arial]Does anyone know why I am geting this delay or how to overcome it?[/font]
[font=Arial][/font]
