Hey all, I’m having trouble getting each new movieclip to change it’s \_.x position. I’m loading 7 images (img1.jpg - img7.jpg) It does attempt to load each image, because when I change currentImg to 0 I get an output error saying it could not load img0.jpg. My output also returns the Image Number as being 1 more than it actually is.

Each image just gets piled on the next one though so all I see is img7.jpg. The width of each image is 100px right now, but the final product will have each image as a random size between two numbers, so I can’t just make it scoot over 100px for each new image. All of this happens inside a listener called fullContainer.

Here is my code:

> 

// Listener  
var loader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();  
loader.addListener(this);

// Variables  
var currentImg:Number = 1;  
var imgTotal:Number = 7;  
var xPos = 0;  
var yPos = 0;

//When loaded do:  
function onLoadInit(\_mc:MovieClip) {  
trace ("Image number " + currentImg + “.”);  
trace ("Width is " + \_mc.\_width + " and Height is " + \_mc.\_height);  
trace ("X position is " + \_mc.\_x + " and Y position is " + \_mc.\_y);  
\_mc.\_width = 100;  
\_mc.\_yscale = \_mc.\_xscale;  
\_mc.\_x = xPos;  
\_mc.\_y = yPos;  
trace ("Image number " + currentImg + “.”);  
trace ("Width is " + \_mc.\_width + " and Height is " + \_mc.\_height);  
trace ("X position is " + \_mc.\_x + " and Y position is " + \_mc.\_y);  
}

//Move the new MC over, and load the next  
function init() {  
xPos += \_mc.\_width;  
loader.loadClip(“img” + currentImg + “.jpg” , fullContainer);  
}

//Keep doing this until all images are on the stage  
for(currentImg; currentImg \<= imgTotal; currentImg++){  
init();  
}

Thanks a bunch!
