Re: FLASH: Displaying specific load status in percentage

[Nathan Dicken]

Thanks for checking Branden...   That was the idea that I was trying to

work with initially except for the fact that I wanted to have some form of

animation (loading bar in this case) to respond alongside the data that was

being fed to the swf.   I tried the method that you were mentioning and it

worked fine with displaying the load variable in a text field.


Seems like there would be quite a few ways to tackle this whole idea...

I'm assuming that the method that you were mentioning will work only if

you're just reporting the load status in a variable, otherwise, if you

include other animation (that may be complex) cooresponding with that it

wouldn't work consistently.  If the animation mc is loaded in the first

frame and started up I assume that would work, but wouldn't be as accurate

as it wouldn't be reporting entirely from 0% all the way to 100%...  Any

thoughts???


thanks,

Nathan
