variable 1

[blues007]

is there a way to attribute a variable name to a movieclip?
say something like

my_clip=x

or something like this. thank you.

What I really want is this:

when I load a clip like this:

empty_clip.loadMovie("some_movie.swf")

how can my AS code tell if I allready loaded it, so I can load another one in another position of the page, regardless of the order I load my movies.(I have 5 positions, loadingMovies in empty_clip1 to 5). This is a tough one.

Here's an example (right from the AS dictionary in Flash):

this.createEmptyMovieClip("tester_mc", 1);
tester_mc.loadMovie("[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.yourserver.com/your_movie.swf");[/URL]
function checkLoaded(target_mc:MovieClip) {
  var pctLoaded:Number = target_mc.getBytesLoaded()/target_mc.getBytesTotal()*100;
  if (!isNaN(pctLoaded) && (pctLoaded>0)) {
    target_mc.onLoad = doOnLoad;
    trace("clearing interval");
    clearInterval(myInterval);
  }
}
var myInterval:Number = setInterval(checkLoaded, 100, tester_mc);
function doOnLoad() {
  trace("movie loaded");
}

Hope it helps.

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

Your function checkLoaded is great. Thank you very much. I adapted your code and it works great.

Not my code It's available in the Flash Help file. Glad it helped though.
