Oh sorry for misunderstanding, To answer you question, I don't know if it is a garanteed behavior but if it works, that could be the case, because flashvars are set before the swf actually loads in your page. That onLoadComplete behaves in a similar way seems plausible.
Further testing is required to say if it's a solid assumption. But if it works, use it ! :) Alain -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Harding Sent: 17 octobre 2006 12:08 To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Re: Passing SWF parameters with MovieClipLoader? I may not have been clear - I understand that if you actually want to _use_ the new clip, you need to wait for onLoadInit. What I was trying to do is set parameters on the new clip _before_ it gets loaded, similar to setting flashvars in HTML, or setting properties on an empty clip before calling MovieClip.loadMovie(). And what I found is that you can do this by setting those parameters in response to onLoadComplete. -John On 10/16/06, Alain Rousseau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yup, Tested and True, > > it's definitely onLoadInit that does the trick, because it is fired > when the first frame of your loaded SWF is played. > onLoadComplete only tells you that the SWF bytes have completed > loading before it actually begins playing. > > the rest of the onLoad... events for the MovieClipLoader seem to be > there only for the purpose of load progress monitoring.
