Hi All
I m using loadMovie Command to load a image in an empty Movieclip. but
how to check whether the image is loaded or not.
i.e
mc.loadMovie (image.jpg)
id = setInterval(fnCheckUploading,1)
fnCheckUploading =function () {

Hi sumeet,
You can put the check through onLoad Handler of movie clip.
mc.onLoad = doOnLoad;
function doOnLoad() {

Use loadClip().
Using this method instead of loadMovie() or MovieClip.loadMovie() has a
number of advantages.
The following handlers are implemented by the use on a listener object:
MovieClipLoader.onLoadStart handler is invoked when loading begins.

I don't think it's possible unless you encode everyframe as a keyframe which
can make the file pretty large. This also affects scrubbing in the video
