getBytesLoaded() of a txt-file?

[grnst]

How can I get the getBytesTotal and getBytesLoaded() of a external loaded .txt file?

Flash 5 doesn't provide that possibility...

It only applies to Movie Clips or anything you are trying to load using LoadMovie()

i think it's possible to write something like that
loadMovie("give_text.php",_root.test);

give_test.php should create .swf file with your text dynamically and return it to flash.
and you could be able to use getBytesTotal() and getBytesLoaded()

i think i'll try to create such script when i have free time... If MusicMan haven't already created it

thanks, but now Ill put a exta var into the txt-file, and scan thatone with an if statement. Not nice, but it works....

If you just want to know if the text (data, variables, movie or whatever) is loaded use the

onClipEvent (data)

handler. this event only happens when the data is fully loaded = text-file is in. i think this is a cleaner approach then appending a variable and check for it...
