RE: [Swftools-common] issues with a loader

[Huub Schaeks]

Hello Pablo

I played around a bit with implementing a running counter with swfc (cvs version) and afterwards tried to apply that to your loader. Since I don't have access to all the files you use, I cannot really test it, but you may want to try this:
change the first part of your loader script to:

.frame 1
    .put first_slide
    .put loader

    .action:
        slide_height=Stage.height;
        slide_width=Stage.width;
        counter_percent=(slide_width/800)*100;
        loader._x = slide_width-(loader._width*(counter_percent/100)*1.05);
        loader._y = slide_height-(loader._height*2.5);
        loader._xscale=counter_percent;
        loader._yscale=counter_percent;
    .end

.frame 2
    .action:
        loading = (String (Math.round ((_root.getBytesLoaded() / 1024))) + " KB / " + String (Math.round ((_root.getBytesTotal() / 1024))) + " KB " + " (" + String (Math.round ((_root.getBytesLoaded() * 100) / _root.getBytesTotal())) + "%)" );
    .end
.frame 3
    .action:
        if (_root.getBytesLoaded() < _root.getBytesTotal())
            gotoAndPlay (2);
    .end

and, of course, change your frame 3 to frame 4 further down.

Regards
Huub
