Hello,
I am trying to build a generic preloader in Flash MX 2004 professional for an
online scrapbook i am putting together for a family event. I've looked at many
tutorials online and I am still a little in the dark as to how I can implement
onLoadProgress.
One tutorial that I read used the onLoadProgress as part of the movieClipLoader
while another used the onLoadProgress as part of a listenerObject. Is one way
better than the other?
The part that I am still missing is exactly how to tap into the bytesloaded and
bytestotal information of the onLoadProgress call and have it be displayed
dynamically within a text field.
I currently have three layers. An actions layer, a mc layer, and a text layer.
The 'actions' layer has the following code on frame 1:
var myImage:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.onLoadComplete = function() {
status_txt.text = (" -- onLoadComplete");
myMC1._width = 170;
myMC1._height = 170;
};
listenerObject.onLoadProgress = function() {
status_txt.text = (" -- onLoadProgress");
var stats:Object = myImage.getProgress(myMC1);
progress_display_txt.text = ("bytesLoaded: "+stats.bytesLoaded+" of "+stats
.bytesTotal);
};
myImage.addListener(listenerObject);
myImage.loadClip("http://www.rise4peace.com/DSCN0092.JPG", myMC1);
The 'mc' layer has an empty movieclip instance named "myMC1" and the 'text'
layer has two dynamic text fields named "progress_display_txt" and "status_txt"
respectively.
When I export the movie and drag it into an IE window nothing happens. I would
assume, based upon the code that I would've seen the following:
1.) progress_display_txt field would dynamically update to show the bytes text
as the myMC1 movieclip is being loaded.
2.) when the myMC1 has finished loading it would be displayed within the myMC1
instance on stage with a height and width of 170 pixels.
Unfortunately neither of these things are occuring and I am very stumped as to
why. Any pointers or tips would be very greatful.
Best Regards,
rise4peace
