Description

Property (read-only); the number of bytes of content that have been loaded. The default value is 0

until content begins loading.

Example

The following code creates a progress bar and a Loader component. It then creates a listener

object with a

progress event handler that shows the progress of the load. The listener is

registered with the

loader instance.

createClassObject(mx.controls.ProgressBar, "pBar", 0);

createClassObject(mx.controls.Loader, "loader", 1);

loadListener = new Object();

loadListener.progress = function(eventObj){

// eventObj.target is the component that generated the progress event,

// that is, the loader

pBar.setProgress(loader.bytesLoaded, loader.bytesTotal); // show progress

}

loader.addEventListener("progress", loadListener);

loader.content = "logo.swf";

When you create an instance with createClassObject(), you have to position it on the Stage

with

move() and setSize(). See UIObject.move() and UIObject.setSize().
