streamSize

Syntax

member(whichFlashMember).streamSize

the streamSize of member whichFlashMember

Description

Cast member property; reports an integer value indicating the total number of bytes in the stream

for the specified cast member. The streamSize property returns a value only when the Director

movie is playing.

This property can be tested but not set.

Example

The following frame script checks to see if a Flash movie cast member named Intro Movie has

finished streaming into memory. If it hasn’t, the script updates a field cast member to indicate the

number of bytes that have been streamed (using the

bytesStreamed member property) and the

total number of bytes for the cast member (using the

streamSize member property). The script

keeps the playhead looping in the current frame until the movie finishes loading into memory.

on exitFrame

if member("Intro Movie").percentStreamed < 100 then

member("Message Line").text = string(member("Intro Movie").bytesStreamed) \

&& "of" && string(member("Intro Movie").streamSize) \

&&"bytes have downloaded so far."

go to the frame

end if

end
