Re: [Flashcoders] using Tween with addEventListener instead of addListener in flash 8

Hello :) 1 - you can try to read this article : http://blog.lalex.com/post/2004/09/17/Tween2-%3A-quand-Tween-rencontre-EventDispatcher (download the sources) 2 - You can too use the AsBroadcaster implementation with addListener and delegate the handler methods like this : import mx.transitions.

You should use the MovieClipLoader class. You could set an interval to about 50ms, which should be enough time for the MCL class to throw the onLoadError event. In the onLoadError event, you delete the interval which will stop the loading. Muhammad Sheraz Iqbal wrote: Hi all, I am trying t
