    thx


  • just for the xml ..

    also if its easy..which is the best method to load simple xml file (text..and propably a tiny thumbnail pic) ?

    thx canadian


  • do we need a seperate preloader for loading xml too. cannt we have it all in one with the movie itself :ponder:


  • Here's how I'd do it:
    mx.transitions.OnEnterFrameBeacon.init();
    var x:XML = new XML();
    x.ignoreWhite = true;
    x.load("some.xml");
    MovieClip.addListener(x);
    x.onEnterFrame = function():Void {
    //ratio between bytes loaded and total bytes of the XML file
    var perunus:Number = this.getBytesLoaded() / this.getBytesTotal();
    };
    x.onLoad = function(success:Boolean):Void {
    if (success) {
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
    //code for if XML loads properly
    } else {
    //code for if XML does not load
    }
    };


  • yea..but since xml load dynamic..i guess we do need ...especially when u have a long block of text (xml)


  • Do you want a preloader for the XML or the entire SWF?
