[osflash] "splitting" the load percentage feedback in different stages

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

Hey David... I tried to implement the formulas you gave me, but with no
success... here´s the code I´m using in the onLoadProgress event of the
LibStack class (pixlib), in other words, this method gets called until the
whole LibStack gets loaded:

First, the LibStack setup:

   private function dotherest() {



       var lib1:GraphicLib = new GraphicLib(this.createEmptyMovieClip
('lib1',0),10,false);
       var lib2:GraphicLib = new GraphicLib(this.createEmptyMovieClip
('lib2',1),11,false);
       var lib3:GraphicLib = new GraphicLib(this.createEmptyMovieClip
('lib3',2),12,false);
       var AppForm:GraphicLib = new GraphicLib(this.createEmptyMovieClip
('appform_cont',3),13,false);

       var lib:LibStack = new LibStack();

       lib.enqueue(lib1,'Fuse','files/library/Fuse.swf');
       //
       lib.enqueue(lib2,'Componentes','files/library/Componentes.swf');
      // lib.enqueue(lib3,'Framework','files/library/Framework.swf');
       lib.enqueue
(AppForm,'ApplicationForm','files/forms/ApplicationForm.swf');

       lib.addEventListener( LibStack.onLoadProgressEVENT, this,
onLoadProgress);
       lib.addEventListener( LibStack.onLoadCompleteEVENT, this,
onLoadComplete);



       totalSwfs = lib.getElements().length;

       lib.execute();


   }


Now, the onLodProgress callback:

 public function onLoadProgress(lib:LibEvent) {




       var currentSwfPercentDone = lib.getPerCent();

       Log.it(currentSwfPercentDone);
       totalPercentDone = Math.round((this.swfsDone / this.totalSwfs) +
(currentSwfPercentDone   / this.totalSwfs));

       currentStar = Math.round(totalPercentDone * totalStars);
       currentStarPercent = (totalPercentDone - (currentStar/totalStars)) *
totalStars;
       this['label' + currentStar + '_txt'].text = String(Math.round
(currentStarPercent));

       if(currentSwfPercentDone >= 100) this.swfsDone += 1;


      Log.it('---------------------------------------------------');
      Log.it('lib name: ' + lib.getName());
      Log.it('totalSwfs:' + this.totalSwfs);
      Log.it('swfsDone: ' + this.swfsDone);
      Log.it('currentSwfPercentDone: ' + currentSwfPercentDone);
      Log.it('currentStar: ' + currentStar);
      Log.it('totalPercentDone: ' + totalPercentDone);
      Log.it('---------------------------------------------------');




   }

The totalPercentDone formula doesn´t seem to work, it only goes up to 34
value, and each time a new lib gets loaded, it starts from zero, to go up to
34 again... the currentStar formula also isn´t working. It only returns a
valid value (4, the last star) when the swfDone = 2, totalSwf = 3,
currentSwfPercentDone = 0 and the totalPercentDone = 1 (don´t know why!)
