Mode you could load the content into two Sprites. So instead of just addChild you would first add a sprite, then another and attach it to those, then add them to the main stage. Then you can size the Sprites as containers.

I have a list of images that i've looped overand loaded with the Loader class, but I'm having a tough time assigning them unique names. I want unique names because I want to know what loader the user clicks on (using mouse event handling). Is there a way to assign loaders a name or some unique tag so i can retrace what the user clicked on?

Sounds like you need aurthur debert's bulk loader. This makes handling many loaders very simple.
Hey all, what do i do if i have an exsisting movie clip, and i want to load an external swf from a url into it?
Thanks

You can do it in the movieclip but if you need to do it from the container (load one in then load another movie into that) you will have to get a reference to it and then you can just [obj].addChild like any other object. There are lots more ways to do it, it really depends on where the controller is at. This sample loads into itself, you can easily get the loader and add the child to an object already in your stage or loaded in.

if you read event descriptions above, INIT is when the external is actually in a 'ready' state... COMPLETE you would use to inject variables required into an external asset if they were desired/required.

hey there, think someone else had this question as well re: using loaders to load images into two different places. but i've tried using sprites, attaching the loader to the sprite, then the sprite to the MC, and it still doesn't work - when i call loader again, the first image disappears. :-) i've got it working with the code below, but i'm sure this can be improved. any suggestions?
// load in images dynamically var leftloader:Loader = new Loader(); leftloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress); leftloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete); var rightloader:Loader = new Loader(); rightloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadProgress); rightloader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
function loadProgress(event:ProgressEvent):void { var percentLoaded:Number = event.bytesLoaded/event.bytesTotal; percentLoaded = Math.round(percentLoaded * 100); trace("Loading: "+percentLoaded+"%"); } function loadComplete(event:Event):void { trace("Complete"); }
var curimg=0; function loadImage(thisframe) { curimg++; var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("images/img"+curimg+".jpg"); if (thisframe=="leftframe") { leftloader.load(request); leftframe.holder.addChild(leftloader); trace ("load left"); } else { rightloader.load(request); rightframe.holder.addChild(rightloader); } } loadImage("leftframe");

Hey Guys, I'm having a huge problem with loading an external .swf that includes an FLV video file. No matter what I do, myoader.unload(); or myloader.removeChild(); Nothing seems to make the video stop playing. It's dissappears but the audio continues to loop in the background,
I managed to patch this using the flash.media.SoundMixer.stopAll(); methoid but this is ONLY a patch. My memory is getting killed!
It appears adobe knows about this problem but please tell me someone has a solution!

So, what you end up with is an object of type Loader? And you then use that like a sprite or movie clip? That's pretty ugly. Would have been better if the loader mechanism left you with a sprite or something.

In actionScript 2.0 i used to load movies at level_0 to replace original. How can i do that with a loader? Must i (can i) unload the parent?
drawk

Hey ks61,
Yes the new Display Object Tree allows you to load in objects into the display tree with addChild() on amy movie clip or the stage. If you addChild it will simple append the object. If you want to clear out the old one you can removeClip() or removeClipAt(index) before loading in the same location. You can removeClipAt(0) for clips that have no children to remove it from the display tree.

Thanks for yor reaction, but ...
removeClip() and removeClipAt() are not standard Flash actions are they? I cannot find them in the help-function.

Oh man I can't believe I said that.. hehe working on some AS2 with old school removeClip. Sorry yes it is removeChild() and removeChildAt() they are part of any object that inherits from DisplayObject such as flash.display.MovieClip. The whole display object tree is based on objects with children. So it is addChild and removeChild etc. Sorry for the confusion, late...

tried and tried ...
with removeChildAt(0) i remove a child in the loaded movie with parent.removeChildAt(0) i expected a small success but instead Flash crashes. (for some of you that maybe very logical, i simply copied it from another forum)
there is no such thing as removeParent()
A solution may be to start with an empty movie that loads another movie in a targetclip. The loaded movie can with a mouseclick load another movie in the targetclip. Sounds simple, but does not work as i expect it. Any suggestions?

Hi! Thanks for this! I got one question and would be really happy if you knew the answer.
i'm loading 50 thumbs at once. Listener is set. thumbLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,thumbsLoaded);
i want to know name of just loaded loader
function thumbsLoaded(evt:Event):void { thumbLoader.name ?? }
all i figure out so far is i can see file url through contentLoaderInfo like this trace(evt.target.url);
it would be great if there was a chance to set name of that loader and later get it when it's loaded.
You probably want to write up us use something like http://code.google.com/p/bulk-loader/. This will help you with large sets of data to load and finding them.
