as3 image load position

You can use a double loop  and increase

x and y positions for every loader.

here is an example (with just one loop):

var array:Array=["url1","url2","url3"]; // u should fill that array somehow with more data...

var wid:Number=150;

var hei:Number=100;

var x_counter:int=0;

var y_counter:int=0;

var columns:int=4;

function loaderFunc():void{

for (var i:Number = 0; i < array.length; i++){

var thumb_url = array[i].toString();

var thumb_loader = new Loader();

thumb_loader.load(new URLRequest(thumb_url));

thumb_loader.x = (wid+10)*x_counter;

thumb_loader.y = (hei+10)*y_counter;

addChild(thumb_loader);

if (x_counter+1 < columns){

x_counter++;

} else {

x_counter = 0;

y_counter++;

}

}

}

An easier way is using paramters in the constructors but it doesnt work??

why does this code fail to load anything without an error?

package

import flash.display.Sprite;

public class atest1 extends Sprite

{

import flash.display.Bitmap;

import flash.display.Loader;

import flash.display.Sprite;

import flash.events.Event;

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.text.*;

private var myy:int;

private var myx:int;

private var txt1:TextField = new TextField();

public function atest1(x:int,y:int)

{

var loader:Loader = new Loader;

myx=x;

myy=y;

loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);

new URLRequest("ladybug.png"));

txt1.text =

"Text1";

addChild(txt1);

import flash.text.*;

}

private function imageLoaded(event:Event):void

{

var image:Bitmap = new Bitmap(event.target.content.bitmapData);

image.x=myx;

image.y=myy;

addChild(image);

}

}

}

You will need again a loop if you wanna use more than one image (and calculate each time x and y positions)

I thought AS3 was OOP?

I cant pass paramters in constructors so I need to pass them when an imge is loaded .

If I need to load 3 images how do i do this in as3 without constructors????

var li:atest1= new atest1("img1");

var li:atest1= new atest1("img2");

var li:atest1= new atest1("img3");

it works.

You need to use:

var li:atest1= new atest1(10,200);

addChild(li);

Here it is:

no it doesnt work.

Here is my whole code and I get1 error with addchild

package

var li:atest1= new atest1("ladybug.png");

var addChild(li);

it works.

Please download my example (fla+as) and test it.

I have flashbuilder and

my code has changed a little since then as you can see.

Could you try my current code where I want to load a file by passing the filename in the constructor?

Might be flashbuilder is no good.

I did it before:

codes in fla file:

var aa:atest1=new atest1(33,44);
addChild(aa);

The .as file is in the Rar file and with Flashbuilder you can open it.
