As Flash.. _root a simple question

[Lozbo 0]

Is _root relative to the scene or the overall flash movie? for example if i have this:_root.getBytesTotalwill that return the total bytes of my movie (.fla) or just the current scene?thanks!

it will return you the size of the entire swf

try this.getBytesTotal... to get the bytes in the scene... i havent tested it so it might not work..

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!).
