getProgress (MovieClipLoader.getProgress method)
public getProgress(target:Object) : Object
Returns the number of bytes loaded and the total number of bytes of a file that is being loaded
by using
MovieClipLoader.loadClip(); for compressed movies, returns the number of
compressed bytes. The
getProgress method lets you explicitly request this information,
instead of (or in addition to) writing a
MovieClipLoader.onLoadProgress listener function.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 7
Parameters
target:Object - A SWF, JPEG, GIF, or PNG file that is loaded by using
MovieClipLoader.loadClip().
Returns
Object - An object that has two integer properties: bytesLoaded and bytesTotal.
Example
The following example demonstrates the use of the
getProgress() method. Rather than
using this method, you will usually create a listener object to listen for the
onLoadProgress
event. Also note that the first, synchronous call to
getProgress() can return the number of
bytes loaded and the total number of bytes of the container and not the values for the
externally requested object.
var container:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("container",
this.getNextHighestDepth());
var image:MovieClip = container.createEmptyMovieClip("image",
container.getNextHighestDepth());
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onLoadProgress = function(target:MovieClip, bytesLoaded:Number,
bytesTotal:Number):Void {
trace(target + ".onLoadProgress with " + bytesLoaded + " bytes of " +
bytesTotal);
}
mcLoader.addListener(listener);
mcLoader.loadClip("http://www.w3.org/Icons/w3c_main.png", image);
var interval:Object = new Object();
interval.id = setInterval(checkProgress, 100, mcLoader, image, interval);
function checkProgress(mcLoader:MovieClipLoader, image:MovieClip,
interval:Object):Void {
trace(">> checking progress now with : " + interval.id);
