Image loader - width/height

[KriZFlashes]

I'm working on an image gallery: thumbnails + big image.

The big image needs to be resized, and I've already got a nice resize function, that's not the problem.

The problem is, once I resize the Loader, and then load a new image, it doesn't overwrite the set width/height with the new values.

1: Load first image
2: Resize image
3: On click -> load second image
4: Resize second image

For step 4 to work, I need the width/height of the original second image, but I can only get the width/height of step 2.

Anyone got an idea how to fix this? Thanks!

How do you resize?

I just set the width and height values. To test, I'm using this:

myLoader.width /= 2;
myLoader.height /= 2;

It works, but when I load the next image, it uses those values and not the actual new image values. So basicaly when I load the second image, it has the size of the first image / 4. When I load the third image, it has the size of the first image / 8.


[edit]
Ps: this is not my actual resize code, I just use this to test.

Don't use the direct variable, because that will hold the value before loading the mage. Use event.currentTarget.content or event.currentTarget.content .parent

That fixed it in less than 2 minutes, I love you! Haha thanks man.

I'm glad it works now, though I don't really understand why it works... event.currentTarget.content is the same as the Loader itself, right? So why doesn't it overwrite that value?
