Usage
my_sound.getBytesLoaded() : Number
Parameters
None.

Description
Method; returns the number of bytes loaded (streamed) for the specified Sound object. You can
compare the value of
percentage of a sound has loaded.
Example
The following example dynamically creates two text fields that display the bytes that are loaded
and the total number of bytes for a sound file that loads into the SWF file. A text field also
displays a message when the file finishes loading. Add the following ActionScript to your FLA or
AS file:
this.createTextField("message_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10,10,300,22)
this.createTextField("status_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 50, 300,
40);
status_txt.autoSize = true;
status_txt.multiline = true;
status_txt.border = false;
var my_sound:Sound = new Sound();
my_sound.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
this.start();
message_txt.text = "Finished loading";
}
};
my_sound.onSoundComplete = function() {
message_txt.text = "Clearing interval";
clearInterval(my_interval);
};
my_sound.loadSound("song2.mp3", true);
var my_interval:Number;
my_interval = setInterval(checkProgress, 100, my_sound);
function checkProgress(the_sound:Sound):Void {
var pct:Number = Math.round(the_sound.getBytesLoaded()/
the_sound.getBytesTotal()*100);
var pos:Number = Math.round(the_sound.position/the_sound.duration*100);
with the value of
getBytesLoaded()
to determine what
getBytesTotal()
