I have flash mx (not 2004). Is there any possible way to make sure the image is
loaded, or get percent loaded info on the images progress? most important is
that i need to know when an image is completely loaded, but it would be great
to get live feedback on percent loaded. I know that flash mx 2004 has many
functions that get the info I need. Are there any ideas on how i could do this
without upgrading? I've seemed to try just about everything.

Any preloader code would do; examples at www.flashkit.com or
www.bokelberg.de/actionscript or just search the google archives (link
below)

any preloader? when i load any jpgs this code x = loadingJPG.getBytesLoaded();
returnes x as = to 4? the total bytes is also equal to for, however the jpgs
that i was testing were around 50-100? why do you think this is?

ooh don't credit me for this code - some other clever guy wrote it....


// (holderName is an optional parameter)
MovieClip.prototype.loadjpg = function(picName, holderName) {
// holderName can be passed in case needed for progress indicator
// if not passed, use 'holder' as default
var h = holderName==undefined ? "holder" : holderName;
this.createEmptyMovieClip(h, 1);
this._visible = false;
this[h].loadMovie(picName);
var id = setInterval(function (mc) {
if (mc[h]._width > 0) {
mc._alpha = 99;
clearInterval(id);
// may want to move this next line to the onComplete routine
// instead, if visibility is to be set after positioning
// mc._visible = true;
mc.onComplete();
} else {
mc.onLoading();
}
}, 80, this);
};



this.onLoading = function() {
trace("LOADING: This="+this+" has loaded:"+this.h.getBytesLoaded()+"/"+this.h.getBytesTotal()+" bytes");
};
this.onComplete = function() {
trace("This="+this+" is COMPLETE");
};
this.loadjpg("zip.jpg","h");

BAsically yes; any preloader. Well, except for the one perhaps that use
ifFrameloaded. But obviously things are not working as you expect, so why
don't you show us what you have done sofar.
