Flash 5.... _root.

[gpdesigner]

Hello all,
I have a question, I have been reading on _root. ... My question lies with the use of a percentage pre- loader.
_root.getBytesTotal();
If I place this in the first frame of movie A and load movie A into Movie B,
movie B being the main movie, will the get bytes loaded give me total bytes of B, or A...
My initial thought is it will get the total of B seeing how I am useing _root.
but still alittle unsure of this... Thanx for the help

you'll get the bytes total of movie b.


the thing is...

if the script is in the timeline of movie a, use this.
if the script is in a movie clip of movie a, use _parent.

=) ;)
