Hey mac, Bob Leisle makes a good point: I don't understand what kind of link you are hoping to pass to getURL(). For the sake of my example code (see below) I have simply reused the image urls you have provided.
Additionally I would suggest that you avoid using '_root'. Use the 'this' keyword instead. Please be sure to read the comments inserted into the code below: <code> 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/riseofatlanti s-100.gif"]; // use arrIDs array to store the id return values from setInterval calls var arrIDs:Array = []; var thumbHorizontalGap = 110; for (var i:Number = 0; i < 3; i++) { var url:String = arrURLs[i]; var vidThumb:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("vThumb" + i, i + 1000); vidThumb._y = i * thumbHorizontalGap; vidThumb.loadMovie(url); // if you assign the following properties now // they will only be destroyed by loadMovie() //vidThumb.link = url; //vidThumb.onRelease = openURL; // assign properties only after loadMovie() is complete clearInterval(arrIDs[i]); arrIDs[i] = setInterval(confirmLoaded, 100, vidThumb, url, i); } function openURL() { trace("\nthis = " + this); trace("this.link = " + this.link); getURL(this.link); } // call confirmLoaded repeatedly with setInterval // until the file has completely loaded // then clear the interval id and assign the link and button properties function confirmLoaded(mc:MovieClip, link:String, id:Number){ trace("\nconfirmLoaded("+mc+", "+link+", "+arrIDs[id]+") called"); pct = mc.getBytesLoaded()/mc.getBytesTotal()*100; if(!isNaN(pct) && pct>=100 && mc._width>0){ clearInterval(arrIDs[id]); mc.link = link; mc.onRelease = openURL; } } </code> HTH Regards, -Keith http://keithreinfeld.home.comcast.net _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
