Again rynoe… if you state yes, explain how. If you don’t feel like answering a post correctly, then don’t answer it. ---

This is the 2nd thread you answer just yes to, but didn’t explain your answer. I didn’t state yes, you did. But if you wish me to answer. Yes it is possible, but as I have never done it, I do not know how exactly. Stop instagating. ---

I just stated yes to some threads to bring them back to attention. I want to look at these things because the are either challenging and/or important. They were way low on recent listings and I thought they were important AND I thought that if I were to think about it I would find an answer. I like that I learn from that. Geez… ---

In that case your intentions were good and I apologize. Next time you do that though, can you please type something along the lines of :bump: to let viewers know you were just doing it to bump the thread? again, sorry. ---

I want to address the originator of the post. I’m not the greatest at actionscript code but I imagine an if then test on an absolute to test the load state on an loadnum or something like that, let me think about it… ---

Well if you are loading to a movie clip my guess would be to get the bytes loaded and the bytes total of that movie clip in particular. Something like… bytes\_loaded = \_root.myClip.getBytesLoaded(); bytes\_total = \_root.myClip.getBytesTotal(); ---
