Re: FLASH: Preload Problem

[Randy Kato]

Flash,


You are apparently getting the correct percentages by frame, but if you

want to adjust it for percentages by total file size, one way would be

to check your bandwidth profiler and do a little math to figure out

which frames actually correspond to the proper percentages. Then just

change the frame numbers in the actionscript you already have.


HTH,

Randy
