How to reset MovieClipLoader?

[yanmoura]

Hello,

I am with this problem that is making me pull out my hair.
I have several thumbnails that I should read from disk, and they are specified in a XML file. My movie just opens this XML file, and load all the thumbs names to an array called _root.aThumb.

I am using MovieClipLoader to control the loading of the thumbs, as I should load just 6 at a time (to make a pagination). The problem is that it works just the first time, and when I click to go to the next page it do not loads the new thumbs. After some tests, I noticed that the problem is that after the first 6 thumbs loaded, seems that the onLoadComplete is not invoked anymore, because even that I am loading new thumbs it "guess" that it's already loaded. Makes sense?

I would like to know how to RESET (or even remove the MovieClipLoaders I created from the memory), to tell Flash something like: "Hey, it's over... forget the old thumbs, you must load new thumbs now!"

Below, my code...

function LoadThumbs(thepage)
{
    _root.mcLoading._visible = true;
    _root.ReadedThumbs = 0;
    _root.FirstPic = (parseInt(thepage)-1)*6;
    _root.LastPic = _root.FirstPic+5;
    if (_root.LastPic > _root.TotalThumbs-1)
        _root.LastPic = _root.TotalThumbs-1;

    _root.ThumbsToRead = _root.LastPic-_root.FirstPic+1;
    
    // unload previously loaded thumbs and hide captions
    for (z=1;z<=6;z++)
    {
        _root["txtThumb"+z]._visible = false;
        _root["mcEmpty"+z].unloadMovie();
    }
        
    _root.EmptyPointer = 0;
    for (z=_root.FirstPic;z<=_root.LastPic;z++)
    {
        _root.EmptyPointer++;
        // step 1
        // prepare the loader that controls the thumbs loading
        _root["mcLoader"+_root.EmptyPointer] = new MovieClipLoader();
        _root["mcLoader"+_root.EmptyPointer].onLoadComplete = function () 
        {
            _root.ReadedThumbs++;
            if (_root.ReadedThumbs == _root.ThumbsToRead)
            {
                _root.mcLoading._visible = false;
                for (zz=1;zz<=6;zz++)
                {
                    _root["mcEmpty"+zz]._visible = true;
                    _root["txtThumb"+zz]._visible = true;
                }
            }
        }
        
        // step 2
        // load the thumb
        _root.attachMovie ("mcEmpty","mcEmpty"+_root.EmptyPointer,_root.EmptyPointer);
        _root["mcEmpty"+_root.EmptyPointer].createEmptyMovieClip ("container",1);
        _root["mcLoader"+_root.EmptyPointer].loadClip(_root.Folder +  "/" + _root.aThumb[z], _root["mcEmpty"+_root.EmptyPointer].container);
        
    }
}

For whose can be interested, I just found the solution...

There is just ONE way to reset the MovieClipLoader, that is unloading the previously loaded clip, this way:

In the code above, delete the line:

_root["mcEmpty"+z].unloadMovie(); 

and put in its place:

_root["mcLoader"+z].unloadClip(_root["mcEmpty"+_root.EmptyPointer].container);
