How to make a MovieClip from an image thats loading from XML? and how to put an images in a designated place on a flash worksheet , and turn it into movie clip or button?

AS3
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,f); urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("images.xml")); var ldr:Loader = new Loader(); function f(e:Event){     var xml = XML(urlLoader.data);     ldr.load(new URLRequest(xml.image.attribute("url"))); }

xml
<images> <image url="image1.jpg"/> </images>

you can't turn the loader to a movieclip but you can add the loader to a movieclip parent using addChild:

var mc:MovieClip=new MovieClip();

function f(e:Event):void{

mc.addChild(ldr);

}

Can i add this code after that?

mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextpage);

function nextpage(event:MouseEvent)

{

    gotoAndStop(1,"Scene 2");

}

sure:

var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,f);
urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("images.xml"));

var ldr:Loader = new Loader();

var mc:MovieClip=new MovieClip();

mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextpage);

function nextpage(event:MouseEvent)

{

    gotoAndStop(1,"Scene 2");

}

function f(e:Event):void{

mc.addChild(ldr);

}

Get error :

Code:

[kglad]

don't use the same function name.

and if you copy and paste code instead of embedding a screenshot of it, i can edit your code to show exactly how to do that.

okey, i'm sorry

import flash.net.URLLoader;

import flash.events.Event;

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.display.Loader;

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

stop();

var urlLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader();

urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,f);

urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("file.xml"));

var ldr:Loader=new Loader();

var mc:MovieClip=new MovieClip();

mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextpage);

function nextpage(event:MouseEvent)

{

    gotoAndStop(1,"profil");

}

addChild(ldr);

function f(e:Event)

{

    var xml=XML(urlLoader.data);

    ldr.load(new URLRequest(xml.image.attribute("url")));

}

function f(e:Event):void

{

    mc.addChild(ldr);

}

[kglad]

use:

import flash.net.URLLoader;

import flash.events.Event;

import flash.net.URLRequest;

import flash.display.Loader;

import flash.events.MouseEvent;

stop();

var urlLoader:URLLoader=new URLLoader();

urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,urlloadcompleteF);

urlLoader.load(new URLRequest("file.xml"));

var ldr:Loader=new Loader();

var mc:MovieClip=new MovieClip();

mc.addChild(ldr);

addChild(mc);

mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, nextpage);

function nextpage(event:MouseEvent)

{

gotoAndStop(1,"profil");

}

function urlloadcompleteF(e:Event)

{

var xml=XML(urlLoader.data);

ldr.load(new URLRequest(xml.image.attribute("url")));

}

its work to add a movie clip, but the image still on the profile's scene that should not there. How to clear it? And how to put that image into somewhere i want?

[kglad]

remove the movieclip (and its listener so it can be gc'd).

and if you mean you want to change the position of the image, assign the loader (or better, the movieclip) x and y properties.

i don't download and fix files unless i'm hired.

to start solving that problem via the forums, click file>publish settings>swf>tick 'permit debugging'>retest.

the line number of your problematic code will be in the error message.  if that doesn't help you solve the problem yourself, copy and paste the line of code is referenced in the error message.
