Is _root relative to the scene or the overall flash movie? for example if i have this:

_root.getBytesTotal

will that return the total bytes of my movie (.fla) or just the current scene?

thanks!

i tested it a few minutes ago and it returns you the total bytes in the fla, it doesn't work. If you want to know the size of a specific scene you could group the items of the scene into a movieclip and then control it as a movieclip, it will surely work, but you will have to redo your mcs, and maybe loose some code(maybe you will have to reference your code again, yuk!).

    Pony; and two one of her favorite foods it Vegemite when she lived back in New Zealand. So I hope

  8. My Flash Sig
    (5)
    I made a new flash sig. I really think this is awesome, to embed your own flash sig into your
    signature. Only bad thing is that every forum has disabled the .swf extension and/or the HTML tags,
    sigh why is this? Flash is about 100x's better than using crappy old GIF. I think its time we
    roll into the new level of animation sigs, a.k.a. flash. Here is my flash sig:
    http://www.finalchapter.uni.cc/forum/showt...d.php?p=3#post3 Its really simple and fun to do. This
