Loading Problem

[salim_designer]

I have created a movieClip in the first frame of my movie and that movieClip loads an image. As I want different image to load in that particular movieClip, I have not mentioned the name of the jpg file for loadMovie. Rather I have used a variable called "imageName".

Then I created a button with property name "myButton" and I wrote the script to load a jpg file in that particular movieClip.

But it is not working.

I have only one frame in my movie and the situation is such that I cannot use more than one frame.

Here is the script that I am using.

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("imageClip",0)
_root.imageClip.loadMovie(imageName,this)

myButton.onRelease=function()
{
_global.imageName="image10.jpg";
}

Please help me with this

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("imageClip",0);

myButton.onRelease=function()
{
_global.imageName="image10.jpg";
_root.imageClip.loadMovie(imageName,this);
}

Thanks a lot for that. But that will not solve my problem. I don't want to create movieClip by clicking the button. The movieClip will remain on the state and when users click the button, the image will load.

Can you help me with this?

eh?

But the code I posted does not create movie clip by clicking on the button. See, the createEmptyMovieClip is not inside onRelease code. When button is clicked it sets imageName and loads the image.

Well, now that I look at the code, I think it should be like this (dont make new mc on level 0 and in loadMovie dont need "this"):

_root.createEmptyMovieClip("imageClip",1);

myButton.onRelease=function()
{
_global.imageName="image10.jpg";
_root.imageClip.loadMovie(imageName);
}
