accessing dynamic created clips

Apr 15, 2007 1:43 PM



I am having trouble accessing the clips for applying actions.

photAmount, thumb1xpo, thumb1ypo, sm_photo are variables.
thumbLdr is a mc holding the mc's which are created. I know they are being created as they show their respective pics. I just can't seem to apply any actions to them.

Thanks

    When the image has been loaded into the clip you're loading it to, that clip will reset any actions applied to it. two ways to solve this:

    1. Apply the action when the image has been fully loaded to the clip. This would require a pulse (either an onenterframe or interval) that checks to see when the movieclip has been fully loaded (getBytesLoaded()>=getBytesTotal(), or in your case, a simple and actually more safe way would be checking _width>0).

    2. Load that image into a holder clip within the holder, in other words:
    ...
    _root.thumbLdr.createEmptyMovieClip ("thumb" + i, i);
    _root.thumbLdr["thumb" + i]._x = (i - 1) * thumb1xpo;
    _root.thumbLdr["thumb" + i]._y = thumb1ypo;
    _root.thumbLdr["thumb" + i].createEmptyMovieClip ("imageholder", 1);
    _root.thumbLdr["thumb" + i].imageholder.loadMovie (_root["sm_photo" + i]);
    _root.thumbLdr["thumb" + i].onRelease = function(){
    trace("release" + i);
    };
    ...

    I would definately go for option nr 2 in your case :)
