[FLASH CS5][AS 3.0] link in a picture

[DarkStonePD]

hey,

this a pretty stupid qeustion but how do i link in a picture to flash.
i got a URL to an image in an XML File thats on the internet,
i can get the link of that image to display with this code:

Profile_IMG.text = myXML.status[0].user.profile_image_url;

but i want that link that i get to be the picture itself, how do i do this

THANKS to everybody who helps!

You need to create a Mouse eventlistener to the loader where the image is loaded in, however you have to make sure the image is loaded, which you do by the COMPLETE event listener.

this may sound even stopider then the original qeustion but can you give me a script to do this

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild (myLoader);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
myLoader.load (Profile_IMG.text);

function completeHandler (event:Event):void
{
    var myLoader:Loader = event.currentTarget.parent as Loader;
    myLoader.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
}

function clickHandler (event:MouseEvent):void
{
    //whatever
}

i get this error Scene 1,
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type String to an unrelated type flash.net:URLRequest.

[cancerinform]

I forgot something:

myLoader.load (new URLRequest(Profile_IMG.text));

[DarkStonePD]

i still get the same error i dont get it
the script is inside the FLA and not a external class.

[cancerinform]

You should not get the error, since now you have a URLRequest unless you have something similar somewhere else.

[DarkStonePD]

so now i have this code in there: (ERROR IN LINE 9)

import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;
import flash.display.Bitmap;
import flash.events.MouseEvent;

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild (myLoader);
myLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);
myLoader.load (Profile_IMG.text);

function completeHandler (event:Event):void
{
    var myLoader:Loader = event.currentTarget.parent as Loader;
    myLoader.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, clickHandler);
    myLoader.load (new URLRequest(Profile_IMG.text)); 
}

function clickHandler (event:MouseEvent):void
{
    //whatever
}

and this is the other code i have running:

var myXMLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myXMLLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=TWITTERNAME"));
myXMLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);

function processXML(e:Event):void{
var myXML:XML = new XML(e.target.data);

tweet_1.text = myXML.status[0].text;
tweet_2.text = myXML.status[1].text;
tweet_3.text = myXML.status[2].text;
tweet_4.text = myXML.status[3].text;
tweet_5.text = myXML.status[4].text;
follow_box.text = myXML.status[0].user.followers_count;
Profile_IMG.text = myXML.status[0].user.profile_image_url;
}


follow_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onFollow);
function onFollow(e:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http:///twitter.com/TWITTERNAME"));
}
follow_btn.buttonMode = true;

is there a way to combine those 2 scripts to make it work properly im not very good at this yet but im learning ^^
and the instace name where the link is is not "Profile_IMG.text" but "Profile_IMG" (didnt know if you knew that)
but already thx for all the help and i hope you can help me some more

[cancerinform]

No, replace this line

myLoader.load (Profile_IMG.text);

with

myLoader.load (new URLRequest(Profile_IMG.text));

and delete the

myLoader.load (new URLRequest(Profile_IMG.text));

inside the function.

i am sorry if i sound REALT stupid now but i get this error:

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL not found.
