Simple quesiton for createEmptyMovieClip in AS2

[valentineday]

Hi there,

I was working on dynmic loading contents, I have done some code to list all thumbs on the stage and was going to assign URL for each moveclip.

It seems doesn't work for assigning links at the moment. Would you please help me take a look of this? Anything wrong?

Cheers

var thumbHorizontalGap = 110;
//var url:String = "http://img0.gmodules.com/ig/images//weather_welcome_image.jpg";

var arrURLs:Array = ["http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/ga/gameart2/perilendhouse/perilendhouse-100.gif", "http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/ga/gameart2/sallyssalon/sallyssalon-100.gif", "http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/ga/gameart2/riseofatlantis/riseofatlantis-100.gif"];

for (var i:Number = 0; i < arrURLs.length; i++) {
	var url:String = arrURLs[i];

	_root.createEmptyMovieClip("vThumb"+i, i+1000);
	vidThumb = eval("vThumb"+i);

	vidThumb._y = i*thumbHorizontalGap;
	vidThumb.loadMovie(url);

	vidThumb.onRollOver = function() {
		getURL("http://www.google.com","_self");
	};
	
	//trace(vidThumb);
}

/*
function openURL(url) {

getURL(url);

}
*/

create a holder to load images. The replace the mc they are loaded into, thus deleting your rollOver code.

wowow.. AWESOME!

I was curious, why we have to create another MC to load the image. humm... in my code, vidThumb has already assigned to be a MC and loads images.
