Unfortunately I’ve run into a seemingly simple bug, which I hope you can explain easily.

When I open the Loadbar.fla, and save as a CS4, when I run the mainFlash.swf, it complains that
“TypeError: Error #1006: ldrMon is not a function.”
The superstages behaves as if it can no longer see functions inside of Loadbar.

I’ve checked the AS publish settings, and both are set to AS3, and flash player 10. Help!

thanks,

        var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
	var ldrReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("loaderbar.swf");
	ldr.load(ldrReq);
	ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finHandler);
	addChild(ldr);
 
var mainLdr:Object;
function finHandler(ev:Event):void{
	mainLdr = ev.target.content;
}

Then for the progress events of other loading objects, add this code.

function ldrProgress(ev:ProgressEvent):void{
	if(mainLdr){
		mainLdr.ldrMon(ev.bytesLoaded/ev.bytesTotal);
	}
}

If you load anything else in the same parent as the loader bar, then you will need to load it so that the loader bar still appears on top of everything.

No seriously, this made my day after reading through it. I have a feeling a lot of people will also find this helpful after they figure out it exists. Let the news spreading begin!
