MovieClip and Loader difficulties...

[shabasky]

Basically what im doing is making a whole bunch of movieclips using a loop and loading an image into them..The movieclip is a success, but no object is there or seen on stage...

private function createProjects():void
        {
            for (var i:int = 0; i < numberOfProjects; i++)
            {
                var movieclip:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); //Creates the movieclip
                movieclip.name = "card" + i; //Gives a name card + the current project number
                movieclip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, displayDataF); //Adds an event listener
                movieclip.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, addedToStageF);
                container.addChild(movieclip); //Adds the movieclip to a movieclip already on stage
            }
            
        }
        
        private function addedToStageF(e:Event):void 
        {
            removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, addedToStageF);
            
            e.target.x = randomF(0, 1200); //randomF is a function used to create a random number givin a low and high val.
            e.target.y = randomF(0, 800);
            
            var l:Loader = new Loader(); //Creates loader
            var urlreq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("beach.jpg"); //Uses defult image for now
            l.load(urlreq); //Loads
            e.target.addChild(l);
            
            trace("x = " + e.target.x + " y = " + e.target.y);
        }

I'm surprised this isn't throwing an error - you're calling addChild on the event target which is an Object - it ought to be a DisplayObjectContainer or some subclass.

Still - I'm not sure that's the problem. Add some listeners to the loaders for IOErrorEvents and COMPLETE events - that should tell you if things are getting in and not showing, or if the loaders are breaking.

What are you talking about DisplayObjectContainer? Am I formatting it wrong?

And I've done what you have said before. Its defenitly the addChild because the loader is loading and everything.
