).
The property can be both tested and set.
Example
This frame script checks the download status of a linked Flash cast member called NetFlash using
the
percentStreamed
property. While NetFlash is downloading, the movie loops in the current
frame. When NetFlash finishes downloading, the movie advances to the next frame and the
loop
property of the Flash movie in channel 6 is set to
FALSE
so that it will continue playing through
to the end and then stop (imagine that this sprite has been looping while NetFlash was
downloading).
on exitFrame
if member("NetFlash").percentStreamed = 100 then
sprite(6).loop = FALSE
go the frame + 1
end if
go the frame
end
