Description
The integer _totalframes property represents the
number of frames in mc’s timeline,
where mc is a movie clip or main movie. A
new clip or main movie always has a _totalframes
of 1. But if the contents of a clip are unloaded via
unloadMovie( ), _totalframes
becomes 0. It may also be
momentarily while the current clip is unloaded before a new clip is
loaded during a loadMovie( ) operation over a
slow connection. The _totalframes property is most
often used along with _frameloaded to create
preloaders as shown in the entry for
MovieClip._framesloaded.
