2 simple questions on MovieClipLoader

[jbezzina]

I am loading a small picture into a Movie Clip using the following script:

var MCloader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader() ;
MCloader.loadClip("pictures/small_picture.jpg", this.FrameWindow) ; //FrameWindow is the instance name

Picture loads but:

- How can I prevent it from filling in the full size of the Movie Clip?

- How can I control it's alignment?

Thanks !!!

The receiving movie clip should be width:0 height:0. Then the clip should just resize to the image.

Add listener to your movieClipLoader.

var MCloader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader() ;
MCloader.loadClip("pictures/small_picture.jpg", this.FrameWindow) ; //FrameWindow is the instance name

myListener = newObject();
myListener.onLoadComplete() = function(){
	this.FrameWindow._x = 0; //set 0 to whatever you want the x coordinate to be
	this.FrameWindow._y = 0; //set 0 to whatever you want the x coordinate to be
	// you can also adjust the size of the image (image quality will suffer)
	this.FrameWindow._xscale = 50;
	this.FrameWindow._yscale = 50;
}
MCloader.addListener(myListener);

Hope it helps!

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!

I don't have MX 2004 on the machine I am on right now, but my guess would be that you need to remove the () from the onLoadComplete side of the line. I took that syntax right out of the help, but it looked a bit suspiscious to me... now I know why.

myListener.onLoadComplete = function(){

If that doesn't work let me know. I'll take a look in the morning.
