Error: Error #2078: The name property of a Timeline-placed object cannot be modified.

Question

Error: Error #2078: The name property of a Timeline-placed object cannot be modified.
at flash.display::DisplayObject/set name()
at RonaldTest_fla::MainTimeline/frontWheelLoadComplete()

The code that triggers that bogus error is the following:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

var frontWheelLoader:Loader = new Loader();
frontWheelLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, frontWheelLoadComplete);
frontWheelLoader.load(new URLRequest("FrontWheel.png"));

function frontWheelLoadComplete(event:Event):void
{
    var loadedImg:Bitmap = new Bitmap();
    loadedImg = event.target.content;
    loadedImg.name = "My Loaded Image";          // bugging line
    var kontainer:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
    kontainer.addChild(loadedImg);
    addChild(kontainer);
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas?

Regards,

Ron

Follow-up!I just created a new AS3 Flash document and copied and pasted the same code. The problem remains even though the new timeline is absolutely empty.RonThe problem is that loader adds that information to a loaded image as an instance.If you wish to change the name.. get the BitmapData from teh bitmap var data:BitmapData= Bitmap(event.target.content).bitmapDataand then var frame:Bitmap=new Bitmap(data); frame.name="name"

Looks like you have an object on the timeline with name loadedImg that you defined at authoring.
