resizing after onLoad and multiple jpg's

[biker66]

As I understand now it is a bit of a problem to use onLoad
with jpg's in MX.

I've overcome that problem with the help of flashguru and
flashTampaDotCom.

But I still can't get rid of one tiny little thing.

I'm using an empty movie clip in wich I dynamicaly load
a jpg.

Then I use the the _width and _height of that empty
movieclip to get the dimensions of the jpg.

This works great for the first jpg, but when I load a
second in the same movieclip, the dimension of the previous
jpg are kept.

Is there a way to reset the width and height?
I tried setting it to 0, but then it stays 0
Why does it only expand the first time?

i do it by putting the code:

on(data){
//whatever you want to do
}

on the blank movie clip.

to see how mine ended up looking.

Nice cars!

Ok, but the on (Data) is a mouse event

And if I put on the empty movieclip it gives me an error
And if I put in in the movieclip also

This seems logical, because on the movieclip it
expects an onClipEvent.
And in the movieclip an onEnterFrame maybe.

So I'm curious. Can you tell me a bit more about how you did
it?

[biker66]

Still stuck.

Is it true that when you fill a emtpy movie clip with
a jpg and then (This is impportant) resizes it that the
second time you're stuck with the dimensions of the first
resized jpg?

I realy need an anwer on that one.

If my observation is correct, is there a way to get
around this problem.

And if I'm wrong, can someone give me a working code that

A) loads a jpg in a empty MC
B) shows the _width and _height
C) resizes it a bit (smaller, larger I don't care)
D) then loads a second jpg into the same MC
E) shows the actual size of the jpg

Would be great, tnx in advance!

[biker66]

Anyone?

I played around a bit with createEmptyMovieClip and then used onEnterFrame width, height etc. I had 2 buttons on the scene as well not related to the MC. Somehow everything was resized including the buttons. In the next frames though I changed the width and height it was still the same.
I don't any answer to this but have you tried to load into an empty MC and manipulate rather than using createEmptymovieClip, just the old-fashioned way?
You could also try _xscale and _yscale. Just a couple of suggestions. may be something works.

[biker66]

Yes I did. I started of with an empty MC, but that didn't
work either.

I just made the same test you described.

Just two buttons for two different jpg's loaded in the same
MC. I got it working but still with the same problem.

I made 2 text fields for the width and height of the jpg.

Once I loaded the first It showed up resized.
In the textfields are the values
Width=279
Height=401
These are the actual sizes

Then I push the second button to load the next jpg
then the values are changed to
Width=137.35
Height=95.8

And here it's allready going wrong, because the actual
size of the second picture is 400x279
But it shows allright(Resized)

And then when i pushed the first button again to load the
first jpg the values change into
Width=95.8
Height=137.7

And also funny, when you click the same button over and
over again, the jpg gets smaller and smaller.

????????
If any one likes you can check out the small test fla that
I made. I included two test jpg's that must be placed
in the same dir as the swf
