movieclip not having onrelease function

[glassfairy]

the movieclip named thmbs is not having working for the onRelease
function.

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("thmbla", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
thmbla._x = 250;
thmbla._y = 50;

_root.thmbla.createEmptyMovieClip("thmbs" + 1, thmblist.getNextHighestDepth());
			var cLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
					
			cLoader.loadClip("d:/testcode/small/1.png", _root.thmbla["thmbs" + 1]);
					
			_root.thmbla["thmbs" + (1)].onRelease = function()
				{
					trace("created");
				}

[glassfairy]

this is the code

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("thmbla", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
thmbla._x = 250;
thmbla._y = 50;

for(i=0;i<5;i++){
_root.thmbla.createEmptyMovieClip("thmbs" + i, thmbla.getNextHighestDepth());
			var cLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
					
			cLoader.loadClip("d:/testcode/small/1.png", _root.thmbla["thmbs" + i]);
					
			_root.thmbla["thmbs" + i].onRelease = function()
				{
					trace("created");
				}
				
}

Hi,

Not sure what you are trying to do, that code just puts 5 images on top of each other?

[fruitbeard]

Hi,

Going from your original post this is using the full movieClipLoader process

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("thmbla",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
thmbla._x = 250;
thmbla._y = 50;

_root.thmbla.createEmptyMovieClip("thmbs",0);
// create clip loader
cLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mycLoader = new Object();
cLoader.addListener(mycLoader);
// load clip
cLoader.loadClip("d:/testcode/small/1.png",_root.thmbla.thmbs);
// clip starts
cLoader.onLoadStart = function()
{
    _root.thmbla.thmbs._visible = false;
};
// clip progress
cLoader.onLoadProgress = function()
{
    _root.thmbla.thmbs._visible = false;
};
// clip completes
cLoader.onLoadComplete = function()
{
    _root.thmbla.thmbs._visible = false;
};
// clip instigate other things
cLoader.onLoadInit = function()
{
    _root.thmbla.thmbs._visible = true;
    Initiate();
};
// make button work
function Initiate()
{
    _root.thmbla.thmbs.onPress = function()
    {
        trace(this._name);
    };
} 

with the movieClipLoader it needs to be fully loaded before you can assign anything to it.

this is what i did

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("thmbla", _root.getNextHighestDepth());
thmbla._x = 250;
thmbla._y = 50;

for(i=0;i<5;i++){
_root.thmbla.createEmptyMovieClip("thmbs" + i, thmbla.getNextHighestDepth());
			var cLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
					mycLoader = new Object();
					cLoader.addListener(mycLoader);
			cLoader.loadClip("d:/testcode/small/1.png", _root.thmbla["thmbs" + i]);
			
			mycLoader.onLoadStart = function()
			{
				_root.thmbla.thmbs._visible = false;
			};
			// clip progress
			mycLoader.onLoadProgress = function()
			{
				_root.thmbla.thmbs._visible = false;
			};
			// clip completes
			mycLoader.onLoadComplete = function()
			{
				_root.thmbla.thmbs._visible = false;
			};
			// clip instigate other things
			mycLoader.onLoadInit = function(){
				_root.thmbla.thmbs._visible = true;
				initiate();
			}
    
			function Initiate()
	{
		_root.thmbla.thmbs.onPress = function()
		{
			trace("created");
		};
	}  
}

on press doesn't work pl note that i want each thmbs movieclip created within main movieclip thmbla to work as button and trace msg when clicked

[glassfairy]

when i use cloader.onLoadInit or other functions it gives me error "there is no property with the name 'onloadinit'"

[fruitbeard]

Hi,

Firstly you rearranged the code and mycloader will not work as it is cloader, anyway, i'm feeling generous so here is the code to play around with, yes it works.

var NumberRequired = 5;
var Divide = 1;
var Gap = 1;

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("thmbla",_root.getNextHighestDepth());
thmbla._x = 250;
thmbla._y = 50;

cLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mycLoader = new Object();
cLoader.addListener(mycLoader);

for (var s = 0; s < NumberRequired; s++)
{
    _root.thmbla.createEmptyMovieClip("thmbs" + s,s);
    trace(_root.thmbla["thmbs" + s] + " @ Depth: " + _root.thmbla["thmbs" + s].getDepth());
    if (s >= NumberRequired - 1)
    {
        i = 0;
        cLoader.loadClip("d:/testcode/small/1.png",_root.thmbla["thmbs" + i]);
        trace("Begin Loader Loop");
    }
}

cLoader.onLoadStart = function()
{
    _root.thmbla["thmbs" + i]._visible = false;
};
cLoader.onLoadProgress = function()
{
    _root.thmbla["thmbs" + i]._visible = false;
};
cLoader.onLoadComplete = function()
{
    _root.thmbla["thmbs" + i]._visible = false;
};
cLoader.onLoadInit = function()
{
    if (i < NumberRequired - 1)
    {
        i++;
        cLoader.loadClip("d:/testcode/small/1.png",_root.thmbla["thmbs" + i]);
    }
    else
    {
        Initiate();
    }
};

function Initiate()
{
    for (var j = 0; j < NumberRequired; j++)
    {
        _root.thmbla["thmbs" + j]._visible = true;
        _root.thmbla["thmbs" + j].forceSmoothing = true;
        _root.thmbla["thmbs" + j]._y = Math.floor(j / Divide) * (_root.thmbla["thmbs" + j]._height + Gap);
        _root.thmbla["thmbs" + j]._x = 0;
        _root.thmbla["thmbs" + j].onPress = function()
        {
            trace(this);
        };
    }
} 

it is a sequential clip loader !!

made with fruitbeards patented design ^

Hi,

Not quite sure where to use the code from Allo Bacon, or if it helps at all, perhaps he is just increasing his post count again!!

[glassfairy]

i tested the code as u made and it gives me error

access of undefined property _root
access of undefined property thmbla
access of undefined property cloader
access of undefined property mycloader

i m attaching the fla Attachment 74049

[fruitbeard]

Hi,

After testing your fla, I see nothing wrong.

I think you are publishing for AS3( I tried and got the errors) and not AS2 as is my coding, the other possibility is the image paths, but that is entirely relative to your situation so not really an issue.

I hope anybody else, can concur perhaps.

[Alloy Bacon]

I can do what I want and who really cares about post count, id take off the number if I could

[fruitbeard]

Hi,

Yes you can do what you desire Alloy, but it's probably better to start a new thread rather than hijack another persons with garbage comments.
I'd personally love to see you helping somebody else with a bit of script.

thanx fruitbeard it works !!
