Why loaderInfo.bytesTotal is Zero

Why loaderInfo.bytesTotal is Zero when run on server but run Test Movie it isn't zero?

My action(Preload)


stop();

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loaderF);

function loaderF(e:Event):void{
    var toLoad:Number = loaderInfo.bytesTotal;
    var loaded:Number = loaderInfo.bytesLoaded;
    var total:Number = loaded/toLoad;

    if(loaded == toLoad){
        removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,loaderF);
        gotoAndStop(2);
    }
    else{
        preloader_mc.preloaderFill_mc.scaleX = total;
        preloader_mc.precent_txt.text = Math.floor(total*100)+" %";
        preloader_mc.loaded_txt.text = loaded+" Bytes / "+toLoad+" Bytes";
    }
}

The following code works for me:

loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

The only problem with this is when you get bytesTotal==0 you can't monitor load progress correctly. You only get a response when loading is complete.

I was getting this on a swf packaged (temporarily, during development) in Google App Engine. When I moved it to Google Cloud Storage, it was fine. Sure enough, when I compared the headers, App Engine wasn't including Content-Length. I did two things to prevent this in the future:

1) I hardcoded an estimated bytesTotal as a constant, and use that to determine the percent complete (if bytesTotal is zero) for purposes of showing a progress bar.

2) I changed my preloader to be a MovieClip and use currentFrame == totalFrames to determine when the rest of the swf is definitely finished loading.

it's because you need to disable GZIP for swfs on your server.

add this to your .htaccess file:

SetEnvIfNoCase          Request_URI \.swf$ no-gzip dont-vary

Cost me a lot of time this morning

Does it matter what browser? We are seeing reports this only happens in IE, not FF.
