Hi guys, one more time I´m here to ask for your help. I´m trying to build an "External File Load Class" that can calculate the percent of loaded files while it load one file per time. But, I want to use it without build a queue load system. I just want to know the  with some method all my external files size(just the numbers of bytes) without loading it. Is there a way?

there's no way for a web-based app to get file info without loading. 

you might be able to get file info when using a projector app or air app without loading.

are you creating a projector or air app?

yes, the loader class has all the methods, properties and events you need.  there's no need for a custom class to do what's already been done.

There is no problem with Loader class. I just thought that I could get some information from external files without loading them.
