    URLLoader and bytesTotal

    Hi guys,

    I'm registering for the ProgressEvent.PROGRESS event on a URLLoader object. The URLLoader object is loading a fairly large xml file (50KB).

    It appears that the bytesTotal (and perhaps bytesLoaded) value is incorrect. It seems fine locally but as soon as I put the swf on a web server it's wrong.

    I've attached my source .as file and some trace output. I'd really appreciate it if somebody took a quick look. Thanks!

    The bytesTotal is going up as the file downloads...which means the server isn't reporting the file size when you request it...

    Thanks. So bytesTotal isn't always guaranteed to work? It's server dependent?

    I think it's pretty rare...like when you download a file and it just tells you the amount downloaded but it can't tell you the percent or how much is left...infrequent but you do see it now and again.

    Any server guys out here know more about this stuff?
