Flash MX 2004: Getting a listener to talk

[mattquantic]

Hi I am playing with this code (from help) it works great, but I don't understand how to trace the load progress into the debug window from the listeners... Am I being really dumb? - Im just trying to trace the progress of the jpg loading...

var my_mcl = new MovieClipLoader();
myListener = new Object();

myListener.onLoadStart = function (target_mc){
	var loadProgress = my_mcl.getProgress(target_mc);
	myTrace(loadProgress.bytesLoaded + " = bytes loaded at start");
	myTrace(loadProgress.bytesTotal + " = bytes total at start");
}

myListener.onLoadProgress = function (target_mc, loadedBytes, totalBytes){
	myTrace(loadedBytes + " = bytes loaded at progress callback " );
	myTrace(totalBytes + " = bytes total at progress callback \n");
}

myListener.onLoadComplete = function (target_mc){
	var loadProgress = my_mcl.getProgress(target_mc);
	myTrace(loadProgress.bytesLoaded + " = bytes loaded at end" );
	myTrace(loadProgress.bytesTotal + " = bytes total at end=");
}

myListener.onLoadInit = function (target_mc){	
	target_mc._width = 341;
	target_mc._width = 279;
} 
myListener.onLoadError = function (target_mc, errorCode){
	myTrace ("ERROR CODE = " + errorCode);
	myTrace ("Your load failed on movie clip = " + target_mc + "\n");
} 

my_mcl.addListener(myListener);
my_mcl.loadClip("s2k.jpg","_root.holder_mc");
my_mcl.onLoadProgress();

M@?

you can't trace the progress in the authoring environmet. this is because the swf is not being downloaded, and thus, there is no download progress. (literally, the progress event fires when ever data is written to the disk. in the case of doing test movie, the whole swf is already written to the disk before the program runs)
