Guys, those that needed to re-use e.i. make a copy of a loader after load - grab my LoaderUtil class
the class archived: http://chargedweb.com/labs/...
find more useful stuff at my labs.

Cheers

Очень интересно. Но чего-то не хватает. Может быть, стоит добавить каких-нибудь картинок или фото?

Dominik,

You probably want to write up us use something like http://code.google.com/p/bu.... This will help you with large sets of data to load and finding them.

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.

any hints ?

cheers

Another correction (the final one it seems) because you need to remove ALL children, in the other example i removed just one:

var mRequest:URLRequest;
var loader:Loader= new Loader();

loadOther_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, loadOther);

function loadOther(event:MouseEvent):void {
while (numChildren>0)
{
removeChildAt(0);
}
mRequest = new URLRequest("otherMovie.swf");
loader.load(mRequest);
addChild(loader);
}

tried and tried and found it:

var mRequest:URLRequest;
var loader:Loader= new Loader();

load400_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, loadOther);

function loadOther(event:MouseEvent):void {
removeChildAt(0)
mRequest = new URLRequest("otherMovie.swf");
loader.load(mRequest);
addChild(loader);
}

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?

i tried this:

loadOther_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, loadOther);

function loadOther(event:MouseEvent):void {
parent.request = new URLRequest("otherMovie.swf");
parent.loader.load(request);
}

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()

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...

Thanks for yor reaction, but ...

removeClip() and removeClipAt() are not standard Flash actions are they?
I cannot find them in the help-function.

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.

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?

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.

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!

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");
}
