John, 

I built a simplified version that works just fine (see below). 

HTH

// Button component 
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doNext);
var big_container:Sprite = new Sprite();
big_container.x = big_container.y = 100;
addChild(big_container);
var container_left:Sprite = new Sprite();
big_container.addChild(container_left);
var imageArr:Array = [images/01.jpg, images/02.jpg, images/03.jpg,
images/04.jpg, images/05.jpg, images/06.jpg, images/07.jpg,
images/08.jpg, images/09.jpg, images/10.jpg, images/11.jpg,
images/12.jpg, images/13.jpg];
var index:uint = 0;

function doNext(e:MouseEvent = null):void{
trace(\ndoNext():: index =,index);
var path:String = imageArr[index];
var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(path);
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
function(e:IOErrorEvent):void{ trace(e) });
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
nextLoaded);
loader.load(req);
// manage the index 
if(index  imageArr.length - 1){ 
// increment index by one 
index++; 
}else{ 
// set index back to zero 
index = 0; 
} 

}

function nextLoaded(evt:Event):void{
trace(\nnextLoaded());
var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo = evt.target as LoaderInfo;
var displayObject:DisplayObject = loaderInfo.content;
container_left.addChildAt(displayObject, 0);
trace(   - container_left.numChildren
=,container_left.numChildren);
if(container_left.numChildren  1){
container_left.removeChildAt(1);
}
trace(   - container_left.numChildren
=,container_left.numChildren);
}

// load the first image
doNext();

  Don't remove container_middle at all. Instead add/remove its
  children:
 
  container_middle.addChildAt(newImage,
  0);
  container_middle.removeChildAt(1);
 
 Well I thought that was a pretty slick idea, and cleaner code all the
 way around. However, no cigar. I had to place the new code further
 down. Here's what I ended up with:
 
 function LoadLeft():void
 {
 if(start_flag == true)
 {
 container_left = new Sprite();
 big_container.addChild(container_left)
 } else {
 big_container.removeChild(container_left2);
 }
 var path:String = images/left + i + .png;
 var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest(path);
 var loader:Loader = new Loader();
 loader.load(req);
 loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR,
 function(e:IOErrorEvent):void{ trace(e) });
 loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
 LoadLeftLoaded);
 }
 
 function LoadLeftLoaded(evt:Event):void
 {
 var loaderInfo:LoaderInfo = evt.target as LoaderInfo;
 var displayObject:DisplayObject = loaderInfo.content;
 displayObject.width = 319;
 displayObject.height = 502;
 container_left.addChildAt(displayObject, 0);
 if(start_flag == false)
 {
 container_left.addChildAt(displayObject, 0);
 try
 {
 container_left.removeChildAt(1);
 } catch(error: Error) {
 trace('Error in removwChildAt(1)');
 }
 } else {
 container_left.addChild(displayObject);
 }
 if(start_flag2 == true)
 {
 container_left.x = 1000;
 container_left.y = 20;
 } else {
 container_left.x = 30;
 container_left.y = 20;
 }
 var timeline:TimelineLite = new
 TimelineLite({onComplete:SpinLeft});
 timeline.append(new TweenLite(container_left, 1, {x:30,
 y:20}));
 }
 
 Nonetheless, it still blinks at me as before :(
 TIA,
 John

[Flashcoders] Flashing Flash

2010-05-19 Thread John Singleton 
Hi;
I have this code:

big_container.removeChild(container_middle);
big_container.removeChild(container_middle2);
container_middle = new Sprite();
big_container.addChild(container_middle)

It loops and is called in each iteration except the first. The problem is, when 
it runs, the image in the container momentarily disappears then reappears, 
which doesn't look good. How work around this?
TIA,
John

Looping in frame code, looping in ENTER_FRAME event or looping via a timer?
