I may not have been clear - I understand that if you actually want to _use_ the new clip, you need to wait for onLoadInit.
What I was trying to do is set parameters on the new clip _before_ it gets loaded, similar to setting flashvars in HTML, or setting properties on an empty clip before calling MovieClip.loadMovie(). And what I found is that you can do this by setting those parameters in response to onLoadComplete. -John On 10/16/06, Alain Rousseau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Yup, Tested and True, it's definitely onLoadInit that does the trick, because it is fired when the first frame of your loaded SWF is played. onLoadComplete only tells you that the SWF bytes have completed loading before it actually begins playing. the rest of the onLoad... events for the MovieClipLoader seem to be there only for the purpose of load progress monitoring. Of course you can put them at any use you see fit but basically that is waht they do. onLoadInit tells you that your SWF is ready for manipulation.
