Flash CS6; AS3: How to load image from a link on one frame and addChild(image) on other?

[pauliuspt]

How can I addChild outside the frame of images loader function? When I try to addChild on the other frame of the same loader, I get an error.
I need to download all my 10 images only ONE TIME and place it on the screen in the other frames (to the same movie Clip).
Also I can only play this as3 coded frame once. I know how to add an array of images, but I only need to understand how to do it with one image.

Here is my loader for one image..

   var shirt1 = String("https://static.topsport.lt/sites/all/themes/topsport2/files/images/marskineliai_png/215.png");

   var img1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(shirt1);
   var img1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
   img1Loader.load(img1Request);
   myMovieClip.removeChildAt(0);
   myMovieClip.addChild(img1Loader);

What is the complete error message you get and what is the code you use on the other frame for the addChild ypou say doesn't work?

import flash.display.Sprite;

import flash.events.Event;

import flash.net.URLLoader;

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.events.*;

import flash.net.URLRequestHeader;

import flash.net.URLRequestMethod;

import flash.net.URLVariables;

import flash.events.SecurityErrorEvent;

function init(e:Event = null):void

{

    removeEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);

    var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.topsport.lt/front/Odds/affiliate/delfi");

  var acceptHeader:URLRequestHeader = new URLRequestHeader("Accept", "application/json");

  request.requestHeaders.push(acceptHeader);

  request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

    //request.url = _jsonPath;

    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaderComplete);

  //loader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, securityErrorHandler);

    loader.load(request);

  try {

                loader.load(request);

            } catch (error:Error) {

                trace("Unable to load requested document.");

            }

}

init();

function onLoaderComplete(e:Event):void

{

    var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(e.target);

    var jsonObject:Object = JSON.parse(loader.data);

  var marsk1 = String("https://static.topsport.lt/sites/all/themes/topsport2/files/images/marskineliai_png/215.png");

  var img1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(marsk1);

  var img1Loader:Loader = new Loader();

  img1Loader.load(img1Request);

  _2.removeChildAt(0);

  if(_2 != null)

  _2.smoothing = true;

  //    the addChild which works when on frame one

  //_2.addChild(img1Loader);

}

[FRAME2]

  _2.addChild(img1Loader);

p.s. I removed the unnecessary code like other movieClips. It works then addChild function is on frame one.

I'm kind of new to as3. I started using it this month so sorry if it's the obvious mistake.
How to make flash recognize the loader?

[Ned Murphy · Accepted solution]

You will need to declare the imgLoader outside of the function, otherwise it is limited in scope to within the function...

var img1Loader:Loader; 

function onLoaderComplete(e:Event):void
{

...
  img1Loader = new Loader();

It works!
I thank you from all my heart!
You just saved me from long-lasting desperation
