Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 For loop proplem

Since you have not set x,y for the MovieClips, might the others be 
underneath the top one (last loaded)?

This code should load a MovieClip from the library 5 times, place
each on the stage and then load a different image into each one
Instead it loads the 5 MovieClips from the library, places them on
the stage and then only loads the image into the last (5th)
MovieClip, whats going wrong?
 this code will not run as its stripped 
var itemList:XMLList  = locationInfo.item;
for (var i = 0; i  itemList.length(); i++) //
Loops through 5 times
{
_summaryElement[i] =
loadLibrary(summaryContainer); // Load our MovieClip from the library
loadImage(images/ + i + .jpg,
_summaryElement[i].sumImg); // Should load image into
_summaryElement[i].sumImg which is a blank placeholder movieclip
}
function loadImage(filename:String,
mcName:MovieClip):void
{
_mcName = mcName; // Contains MovieClip object
(object 1 through 5)
var imageLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var imageURL:URLRequest = new
URLRequest(filename);
imageLoader.load (imageURL);

imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
imgLoadComplete);
}
function imgLoadComplete(ev:Event):void
{
_mcName.addChild(ev.target.content); // This
should add the loaded image into the placeholder movieclip for each
of the 5 MovieClips
   }

is your loadLibrary function is returning the same thing each time??

RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 For loop proplem

2008-05-06 Thread Robert Leisle 
Hi SJM,

It looks like you're setting the persistent var, _mcName, to equal each 
_summaryElement[i].sumImg in turn as the loop progresses. That means that when 
the loop is finished, the value for _mcName will be a reference to 
_summaryElement[4].sumImg, the last clip being loaded. Since your loop 
undoubtedly runs faster than the loading process, what your imgLoadComplete 
handler is actually doing is this, 
_summaryElement[4].sumImg.addChild(ev.target.content). It wouldn't be 
surprising if you looked at the contents of _summaryElement[4].sumImg and found 
that all the images are added to its display list as each load completes. 
I would either get rid of the persistent var and find a way to use an ID number 
to link the loaded images and the containers, OR add this line to your 
loadImage method, _mcName.addChild(imageLoader);, and forget the event listener 
(at least for doing the addChild).

Hth,
Bob
