Loading internal assets

[timaging]

Hi,

 

It appears that LoaderMax only works on loading external assets, but due to my client's server restraints, I need to simply load a file to the end so that the audio in the timeline plays along.

 

Is there a way to do this?

 

thanks,

I need to simply load a file to the end so that the audio in the timeline plays along.

I don't understand what this means. Could you explain?

basically I have a single swf file that I want to fully load before playing. There are no external assets.

 

so, I need a loading screen with percentage loaded, and when all the bytes are loaded, it plays.

Oh, that's what LoaderMax's SelfLoader class is for.

 

stop();
var loader:SelfLoader = new SelfLoader(this, {onProgress:progressHandler, onComplete:completeHandler});
function progressHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
   progressBar.scaleX = event.target.progress;
}
function completeHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
   play();
}

 

This assumes you have a progressBar Sprite/MovieClip that you want scaled up to 100%, but change the progressHandler code to whatever you need.

ok, I'll test this out. It appears that this scales something, but can it also read numbers like percentages?

Of course. The loader's "progress" property is a value between 0 and 1, so you could do:

 

myTextField.text = int( loader.progress * 100 ) + "%";
