[size=2]Hi,

Does anyone have a clue 'bout preloading XML data that was processed and given to flash by a php script.

It’s not a XML file… it’s data returned by php from a database on the fly, and i need to build a preloader, BUT, when i use getBytesLoaded() i get 0, or with getBytesTotal(), i get undefined.

The question is: I only get the size of the XML obj when finished loading… until then all i get is 0 (for getBytesLoaded) or undefined (for getBytesTotal).  
Any help is welcome 😉

Álvaro
