I don't know what's going on with the list (and the kind of replies) lately. Quick hacks are just what they are, quick hacks.. avoid them..
As David pointed out, dump and forget about loadMovie (there's no loadMovie in AS3 anyways). Use the MovieClipLoader class to load external assets (replaced with flash.display.Loader in AS3) It's much more elegant and has methods and events to handle loading of external assets. As for the reason why your events attached to the movieclip don't work, that's because when loading something in a MovieClip, everything associated with that MovieClip is cleared/removed. So you'll have to wait for the external asset to be fully loaded before assigning events to the MovieClip and that's what the MovieClipLoader is for. The onLoadInit event will tell you when the MovieClip is ready to work with and is when you can assign events to it. regards, Muzak. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Ngo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Friday, April 06, 2007 9:30 PM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] attaching an event to a movie clip > Personally, I find onEnterFrames bad practice to use unless you absolutely > have to (if your logic is frame-based, etc).
