onLoadProgress() question 2004-03-02 - By Andreas Weber
Back
The new movieClipLoader is imo a great tool - however, it's still very
poorly documented.
2 things:
- you cannot test the onLoadProgress when you load the file locally. The
load happens so fast that the event never fires. You have to upload your
files to the webserver and test it in the Browser (to re-test empty the
browser cache)
- due to a pretty unlucky naming decision on the part of MM everyone will
try the onLoadComplete to access the properties of the loaded file. However
it's the onLoadInit event which must be used: the file must be completely
loaded and initialized to access the properties.
I think that you onLoadProgress function should work, but I would suggest
you change it to something like:
myListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc, loadedBytes, totalBytes){
status_txt.text += 'loadedBytes '+ loadedBytes +' - totalBytes
'+totalBytes+'\n';
}
Find below some tested code.

// on stage: a big dynamic textfield, instande name out_txt
fileToLoad = 'BlueHills.jpg';
myLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
myListener = new Object();
this.createEmptyMovieClip('holder_mc',1);
myLoader.loadClip(fileToLoad, holder_mc);
myListener.onLoadProgress = function(target_mc, loadedBytes, totalBytes){
out_txt.text += 'loadedBytes '+ loadedBytes +' - totalBytes
'+totalBytes+'\n';
}
myListener.onLoadInit = function(){
out_txt.text += 'file completely loaded and initialized. Now all properties
can be accessed \n';
holder_mc._xscale = holder_mc._yscale = 20;
}
myLoader.addListener(myListener);
