Clip link..

[iranor]

Hi everyone.

I have a swf file that contains only clips, numbered from 1 to 20.

Another swf file need to load that file and display the different clips in a small "clip holder" resizing them to display. (clip holder is a two-piece clip, that displays the number on the bottom and the image on the top).

The problem I got, is that my main clip tries to load the clip holder pieces in the library swf. How can I load the clip holder pieces from the main clips, but import in its image zone the image from the library? Also, I would appreciate any hint to improve my code

This is my code:
Library.swf

  var FramesList = new Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7); //I don't know if there are ways of getting an array of the frames in a clip, so i'm using this
  var FramesAmount = FramesList.length;

  //in the library, there are 20 simple clips numbered from 1 to 20.

Main.swf

function setSprites(sFile)
{
   this.createEmptyMovieClip("SpritesHolder", 1);
		
   var SpritesLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
   SpritesLoader.addListener(this);
   SpritesLoader.loadClip(sFile, SpritesHolder);
}

function onLoadInit(SpritesMc)
{
   for(var i=0; i<4; i++)
   {
      var SpriteID = SpritesMc.FramesList[i];

      SpritesHolder.attachMovie("ClipHolder", "ClipHolder"+i, 10+i, {_x: 134*i, y:0, ClipID: SpriteID});
     
      var HolderLink = eval("this.SpritesHolder.ClipHolder"+i);
      HolderLink.ClipImage.attachMovie(SpriteOD, "Clip"+SpriteID, 5+i, {_x:0, _y:0});
   }

ClipHolder clip

//This clip has 1 clip for the image (ClipImage) and a text zone for the clip ID. It resize them using xscale and yscale and adds a small red point at its x=0, y=0 location.

You have to load your "Library.swf" into "Main.swf" but there's a catch. You cannot access the Library of the loaded SWF from outside of the MovieClip the SWF is loaded into.
