Example
The following example shows how to use the
XML.getBytesTotal()
replace the URL parameter of the
valid XML file using HTTP. If you attempt to use this example to load a local file that resides
on your hard disk, this example will not work properly because in test movie mode Flash
Player loads local files in their entirety.
// create a new XML document
var doc:XML = new XML();
var checkProgress = function(xmlObj:XML) {
var bytesLoaded:Number = xmlObj.getBytesLoaded();
var bytesTotal:Number = xmlObj.getBytesTotal();
var percentLoaded:Number = Math.floor((bytesLoaded / bytesTotal ) 100);
trace ("milliseconds elapsed: " + getTimer());
trace ("bytesLoaded: " + bytesLoaded);
trace ("bytesTotal: " + bytesTotal);
trace ("percent loaded: " + percentLoaded);
trace ("---------------------------------");
}
doc.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
clearInterval(intervalID);
trace("intervalID: " + intervalID);
}
doc.load("[place a valid URL pointing to an XML file here]");
var intervalID:Number = setInterval(checkProgress, 100, doc);
