MovieClipLoader 959

Parameters

target_mc:MovieClip [optional] - A movie clip loaded by the

MovieClipLoader.loadClip() method.

Example

The following example loads an image into a movie clip instance called

image_mc. The

onLoadInit and onLoadComplete events are used to determine how long it takes to load the

image. This information is displayed in a text field called

timer_txt.

this.createEmptyMovieClip("image_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());

var mclListener:Object = new Object();

mclListener.onLoadStart = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {

target_mc.startTimer = getTimer();

};

mclListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {

target_mc.completeTimer = getTimer();

};

mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {

var timerMS:Number = target_mc.completeTimer-target_mc.startTimer;

target_mc.createTextField("timer_txt", target_mc.getNextHighestDepth(),

0, target_mc._height,

target_mc._width, 22);

target_mc.timer_txt.text = "loaded in "+timerMS+" ms.";

};

var image_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();

image_mcl.addListener(mclListener);

image_mcl.loadClip("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image1.jpg",

image_mc);

If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 component's

DepthManager class instead of the

MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method, which is

used in this example.
