Loadvars.getbytesloaded() - MACROMEDIA FLASH MX 2004-ACTIONSCRIPT LANGUAGE Reference

LoadVars.getBytesLoaded()

Availability
Flash Player 6.
Usage
my_lv.getBytesLoaded() : Number
Parameters
None.
Returns
An integer.
Description
Method; returns the number of bytes downloaded by
LoadVars.sendAndLoad()
or if a load operation has not yet begun.
Example
The following example uses a ProgressBar instance and a LoadVars object to download a text file.
When you test the file, two things are displayed in the Output panel: whether the file loads
successfully and how much data loads into the SWF file. You must replace the URL parameter of
the
LoadVars.load()
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.
To see this code work, add a ProgressBar instance called
following ActionScript to Frame 1 of the Timeline:
var loadvars_pb:mx.controls.ProgressBar;
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
loadvars_pb.mode = "manual";
this.createEmptyMovieClip("timer_mc", 999);
timer_mc.onEnterFrame = function() {
var lvBytesLoaded:Number = my_lv.getBytesLoaded();
var lvBytesTotal:Number = my_lv.getBytesTotal();
if (lvBytesTotal != undefined) {
trace("Loaded "+lvBytesLoaded+" of "+lvBytesTotal+" bytes.");
loadvars_pb.setProgress(lvBytesLoaded, lvBytesTotal);
}
};
my_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
loadvars_pb.setProgress(my_lv.getBytesLoaded(), my_lv.getBytesTotal());
delete timer_mc.onEnterFrame;
if (success) {
trace("LoadVars loaded successfully.");
} else {
trace("An error occurred while loading variables.");
}
};
my_lv.load("[place a valid URL pointing to a text file here]");
