Hi
I have a movieclip called transitions_mc within which I have an empty mc called imageHolder which is animated around the stage.
I want to load a .swf file into imageHolder, and when its loaded run the animation.
So far I have been doing this - it appears to work - the imported swf animates onto the stage. However...
Code:
function backgroundImage(ptl:Number):Void {
//add transition_mc to the stage
newClip = attachMovie("transition_mc","transition_mc"+clicks,1000+clicks, {_x:45, _y:95});
//get url of swf
var imageUrl:String = episode+"/"+RootNode.childNodes[ptl-1].firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;
var my_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
//onLoadComplete
mclListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip, status:Number):Void {
//trace ("loaded");
newClip.gotoAndPlay("on");
}
my_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
//my_mcl.loadClip(imageUrl,this.transition_mc.imageHolder);
my_mcl.loadClip(imageUrl,newClip.imageHolder);
for(i in _root){
if(typeof(_root[i])=="movieclip")
{trace(_root[i]);
}
}
}//end newBackgroundImage
When I run the file the output shows this:
Code:
_level0.transition_mc0
_level0.transition_mc0
amongst other things.
I have two questions:
1) Why are there two versions on the of the clip on the stage?
2) Does my imported swf replace the mc called imageHolder - or go inside the mc called imageHolder?
Many thanks
E
