That's what I was thinking too. This article may be helpful in this

My guess here is that your reference to _root is 'lost' in terms of scope,
as you're handling the onLoad event locally (on the stack) within the
loadDescriptions() function. Might try this with your current approach:
// namespace for this module
if(_global.LoadNS == undefined) {
_global.LoadNS = this;
}
function loadDescriptions() {
for (var i = 0; i < _root.menuItems_array.length; i++) {
var thisTextLoadVars = new LoadVars();
thisTextLoadVars.onLoad = function(success) {
trace(LoadNS.menuItems_array[i]);
};
var thisDoc = _root.menuItems_array[i];
trace("thisDoc: " + thisDoc);
var textDoc = _root.menu[thisDoc].description;
thisTextLoadVars.load(textDoc);
}
}
Hope this helps...

Subject: [Flashcoders] passing a variable to a function
k - sorry for spamming this board all day but it's all been from the same
problem
i've boiled the whole thing down to this:
how do i pass a variable to an onLoad() function?
here is my script
function loadDescriptions() {
for (var i=0; i<_root.menuItems_array.length;i++) {
var thisTextLoadVars = new LoadVars();
thisTextLoadVars.onLoad = function(success) {
trace (_root.menuItems_array[i]);
};
var thisDoc = _root.menuItems_array[i];
trace ("thisDoc: "+thisDoc);
var textDoc = _root.menu[thisDoc].description;
thisTextLoadVars.load(textDoc);
}
}
the trace in the the onLoad function returns "undefined". Can anyone tell me
how to get around this please?
thanks
alz
