ProgressEvent.url non-existent?

[chartermatrix]

I have multiple downloads calling eProgress.
I guess ProgressEvent does not have the url property Event has?
How can I access the filename beign downloaded.

function eProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void
{
trace(e.target.url); // Null
}

the target that is dispatching the event is a loader info object

So why do I get Null when tracing?

because loader info objects dont have that property

read the link I gave you and look under the properties section and see if there is a property that might do what you need. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. ;)


Also, if you want, post the code where you add the listener. that part can be tricky and might effect the outcome.

Now I am confused. I am looking under the properties section and I do see the URL property. If its returning Null that means its not undefined which means it exists right? Please explain. Obviously I'm missing something.

Ah you are right sorry, it does have that property. That was bad advice I gave you.

Anyways can you post the code where you add the listener and start the loading process?

protected function loadLayer(sURL:String)
{
var myL:Loader = new Loader();
var myR:URLRequest = new URLRequest(sMapPath + sURL);
myL.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEve nt.PROGRESS, onProgress);
myL.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPL ETE, layerComplete);
myL.load(myR);
}

protected function layerComplete(e:Event):void
{
trace('Layer Complete In Map.as');
}


private function onProgress(e:ProgressEvent)
{

bytesDown = e.bytesLoaded;
bytesUp = e.bytesTotal;
trace(e.currentTarget.url + ': ' + bytesDown + ' ' + bytesUp);

}
