Many thanks for your reply and sorry for my inaccurate reply.

Both preloader loader (lessig-freeculture-loader.swf) and presentation 
(lessig-freeculture-loader.swf) are uploaded at 
http://www.archive.org/download/Lessig-Free_Culture/.

The presentation is a 6.4MB file generated by swfc. It has been 
generated with compression. The preloader loads the presentation, but 
when getting the bytes loaded and the total bytes, it counts the bytes 
as the presentation were uncompressed (so it gives a higher file size: 
8.7MB).

It seems that this is an ActionScript “feature”. Is there any way to get 
the actual number of bytes loaded and to be loaded, that is, the bytes 
in compressed format?

I hope I have explained myself in a more accurate way.

Thanks for your help,


Pablo
