Hey,
Does anyone know how to preload external .txt files with the main swf preloader?
Here is my preloader code:
[COLOR=SeaGreen]onClipEvent(load) {
// start the width of the load bar to be 0
this._xscale = 0;
}
onClipEvent(enterFrame) {
// Find how many bytes of this movieClip have loaded
// using _parent assumes this code is on a movieClip
// at the _root of the swf being loaded
loadedBytes = _parent.getBytesLoaded();
// Get the total bytes of the movieClip
totalBytes = _parent.getBytesTotal();
// determine the percentage of bytes that have loaded
percentDone = Math.round((loadedBytes / totalBytes) * 100);
// display the percentage of loaded bytes in the text field loadStatus
_parent.loadStatus = percentDone + “%”;
// set the size of our loadBar clip to the percent of loaded bytes
this._xscale = percentDone;
// move the loader movieClip to the appropriate frame
_parent.loader_mc.gotoAndStop(percentDone);
// if all the bytes have finished loading…
if (loadedBytes == totalBytes) {
// …play the rest of the movie
_parent.gotoAndPlay(“Start”);
}
}[/COLOR]
