Example
The following example uses the
_framesloaded property to start a SWF file when all the
frames are loaded. If all the frames aren't loaded, the
_xscale property of the bar_mc movie
clip instance is increased proportionally to create a progress bar.
Enter the following ActionScript in Frame 1 of the Timeline:
var pctLoaded:Number = Math.round(this.getBytesLoaded()/
this.getBytesTotal()*100);
bar_mc._xscale = pctLoaded;
Add the following code to Frame 2:
if (this._framesloaded < this._totalframes) {
this.gotoAndPlay(1);
} else {
this.gotoAndStop(3);
}
Place your content on or after Frame 3. Then add the following code to Frame 3:
stop();
