getting the bytes loaded

[kav40]

I want to load a movie in to another movie. In the host movie, I need to have a preloader.
How can I get the total bytes loaded using getByesloaded() command? I want to get the total bytes loaded including the host movie & the loading movie.
Please help.

If you're loading into an empty movie clip you'll need this syntax:

loadedPercent=myMovieClip.getBytesLoaded()/myMovieClip.getBytesTotal()

If you're loading the movie into a level you'll need something like this:

loadedPercent=_level1.getBytesLoaded()/_level1.getBytesTotal()

My, what a helpful post Old...

If you need to combine the total loads on separate movies the same syntax applies - just add the 'getBytes' values for each movie together:

//main movie
movie1.bL = this.getBytesLoaded();
movie1.bT = this.getBytesTotal();
//movie loaded into a clip
movie2.bL = myMovieClip.getBytesLoaded();
movie2.bT = myMovieClip.getBytesTotal();
//
loadedPercent = Math.ceil((movie1.bL+movie2.bL)/(movie1.bT+movie2.bT)*100);

I reached my goal! Which was to have you complete your answer... And guess what? It worked!

No correction! It hasn't work!
I understand kav40's question, as wanting his main movie's preloader displaying the total of both the main movie's bytes loaded and of the "to be loaded" movie's bytes...

And that you haven't really answered.
