create a temporary reference
var myMC = createEmptyMovieClip("_cancelOrder",getNextHighestDepth());
now you don't need currentClip
loadListern.onLoadComplete = function(myMC:MovieClip){
myMC._visible = false;
}
Did I miss something or is that what you were asking for?

Hope the title isn't too cryptic!I need to load a dynamic number of images and temporarily set visible to false on them.Simple huh? well...I assume I am missing something fairly simple in my process but here goes:[code] createEmptyMovieClip("_cancelOrder", getNextHighestDepth()); loader.loadClip("buttonCancelOrder.gif", this["_cancelOrder"]); var currentClip = this["_cancelOrder"]; loadListener.onLoadComplete = function(currentClip ):Void { currentClip ._visible = false; } [/code]Now... in this instance, I could have passed _cancelOrder through to the onLoadComplete (instead of passing currentClip)- since it is a top level and predefined var. But seperately in the same script I dynamically create movieclips with names like "button"+i - so since there is a number in the title (and an indeterminate number of them), i need to refer to them in a for loop as this["button"+i]and you can't pass that through to onLoadComplete - hence I have been assigning the dynamic movie to a temporary variableso far so good.but when I have a number of these loading, often the next clip is assigned to 'currentClip' before the first one has finished loading - this means that the currentClip doesn't refer to the movieclip it should when the first onLoadComplete is triggered.how do i get by this?I basically want to load in X images, and then be able to set different properties / onReleases for each of them - but using the above, I can't see how to.It all falls down because the movie clips don't have 'real' names - but can only be refered to as this["button"+i] and you can't pass that to the movie loader because of the inline function style.The only thing I can think of is to do a check to see if EVERYTHING has loaded, then I could just have a big chunk of code that loops round everything and sets all the vars - but that's a bit crap!Anyway, any advice would be appreciated.
