[Flashcoders] Reusing MovieClipLoader Listeners
I have a function that I'm using to preload images into a container
clip using the MovieClipLoader class. The preloader works fine on
the initial image but on successive calls to the function, the
onLoadProgress seemingly never fires (in order to update the
percentage in a textfield). However, the onLoadInit does fire and
the preloader fades away. The manual says to use onLoadComplete for
repeated usages of listeners, but it doesn't seem to allow me to
continuously reuse the listener to load in another image. How do I
set this up to allow multiple calls to the function and have the
preloader fire from 0%-100%?
function preloadImage(img:String,target:MovieClip):Void{
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
var image_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
mclListener.onLoadComplete = function(target_mc:MovieClip,
httpStatus:Number):Void {
// should I remove the listener here and delete the obj?
}
/*
this function never fires properly after the first call!
*/
mclListener.onLoadProgress = function(target:MovieClip,
bytesLoaded:Number, bytesTotal:Number):Void {
photoLoaded = Math.round(100/bytesTotal*bytesLoaded);
MainLoader.load_text.LoadPer1.text = Loading +photoLoaded+%;
}
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
preloadFadeOut();
};
image_mcl.loadClip(img, target);
};
preloadImage(images/5.2.1a.jpg, image_mc); // this one preloads
great!
preloadImage(images/5.2.2a.jpg, image_mc); // this does not have
onLoadProgress but fires onLoadInit
any ideas? thanks!

Re: [Flashcoders] Reusing MovieClipLoader Listeners
You are loading your images at the same time !
Load the first image and then onLoadComplete, start loading the second
image...

RE: [Flashcoders] Reusing MovieClipLoader Listeners
Are you sure it just doesn't appear that way, but in reality, it's
just happening so fast - that it looks like it's not working at all?
I just ask, because I have a Map Application that I wrote - and it
downloads quite large SWF files - in which a progress bar gets updated
based on the loader progress.
It works great, when I load the map for the first time, but subsequent
accesses makes the progress bar appear and disappear, without the
scrolling behavior.
It occurred to me afterwards, that after the initial load, it was
grabbing the file from my cache locally. When I jumped to a different
PC (with an empty cache) it worked great once again - of course until
the time when I loaded it the 2nd time. So just make sure that your
problem isn't because you are loading something that you technically
already have (sitting in your cache).
Just something to consider, before investing too much time into this
problem.
Also, YES I reuse MY Loader over and over, for different SWF files, and
it does work just fine. You don't have to do anything differently - so
I am not sure what else may be happening, if it doesn't end up being
what I mentioned above.
Hth,
Mike

Re: [Flashcoders] Reusing MovieClipLoader Listeners
I think you should load only one image at a time. So make sure the first
image has completely loaded before you start loading the second image.
If you press the 2nd button before the first image has finished loading, you
will have 2 images loading at the same time...

I apologize. For the sake of brevity, I actually took out the fact that
I'm calling this function based on an onRelease function. For example:
mybtn,onRelease = function(){
preloadImage(images/5.2.1a.jpg, image_mc);
}
mybtn2,onRelease = function(){
preloadImage(images/5.2.2a.jpg, image_mc);
}
so they defo fire at separate times.
