How to check if the level is loaded

[ziyad]

HI,
I want to make a preloader for movies loaded in levels. For that i need to know how to detect if the level is loaded.

Rather than checking whether "a level is loaded" you just check the bytes loaded and total bytes of that level, allowing you to calculate a percentage...

if you're checking the movie on level one, you can use the following to calculate the percentage loaded, for example:

loaded = _level1.getBytesLoaded();
total = _level1.getBytesTotal();
percentage = 100 * loaded / total;

Obviously this needs a bit more work to implement as a proper preloader - but perhaps you're happy with the basic preloader creation. If you need more info, get back to me.

Thanks.
I'm happy with it.
