Object not yet loaded while running the function

[jekaterina2]

In one of the frame, I have the following JS code to change the head.

However, the 'resultcharc' is 'undefined', I guess at the time it runs the code, the object is still not yet loaded.

I tried these methods, all failed.esultcharcto resultc

1. setTimeout(changeHead, 5000);

2. setInterval(changeHead, 5000);

3. document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded',changeHead.bind(this));

l.resultcharcresult

ult.resultcreeuelet.resultc

function changeHead() {
switch (parent.p1.classes){
case "basic":
this.start_result.resultcharb.gotoAndStop(parent.p1.head);
console.log("go to resultcharb");
break;
case "middle":
this.start_result.resultcharc.gotoAndStop(parent.p1.head);
console.log("go to resultcharc");
break;
}
}
changeHead();

But if I use click mehtod to trigger it, it works.

this.start_result.addEventListener('click', changeHead.bind(this));
function changeHead() {
switch (parent.p1.classes){
case "basic":
this.start_result.resultcharb.gotoAndStop(parent.p1.head);
console.log("go to resultcharb");
break;
case "middle":
this.start_result.resultcharc.gotoAndStop(parent.p1.head);
console.log("go to resultcharc");
break;
}
}

How can I fix it, so when the frame is loaded, the changeHead function can successfully run?

you have to wait until those frame labell loads to call changeHead.  (and you have to pass a reference to this.)
