Please HELP Me With This! Error 1046!

Question

I cannot figure out what my problem is. When I check for errors its is not telling me any. But when I run it, it is saying: 1046: This was not found or was not a compile-time constant: home2.

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

import flash.display.Loader;

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.events.Event;

var loadvar:Loader = new Loader();

var home1 = loadvar;

home1.load(new URLRequest("img/home1.jpg"));

home1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

var home2 = loadvar;

home2.load(new URLRequest("img/home2.jpg"));

home2.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

function onComplete(e:Event):void

{

var img:Bitmap = Bitmap(e.target.content);

img.width = 100;

img.height = 100;

};

thumb1.addChild(home1);

thumb2.addChild(home2);

But it is working when I take our everything that has to do with home2.

you're assigning the same loader to three different instance names, loadvar, home1 and home2. and you only have one loader while you need two if you want to see home1.jpg and home.jpg at the same time:

use:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.events.Event;
var home1:Loader=new Loader();
home1.load(new URLRequest("img/home1.jpg"));
home1.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
var home2:Loader=new Loader();
home2.load(new URLRequest("img/home2.jpg"));
home2.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function onComplete(e:Event):void
{
var img:Bitmap = Bitmap(e.target.content); // this does nothing useful.
img.width = 100;
img.height = 100;
};
thumb1.addChild(home1);
thumb2.addChild(home2);
// both will now load but you won't see both because they are positioned on top of each other. ie, offset one of them.
