[cs3|as2]Positioning loaded image after loadMovie

programming flash
1

Hi, guys.
This is probably a beaten subject but even after reading many post a couldn’t understand how to go about it.
After doing the following:


  this.crateEmptyMovieClip("myMC",this.getNextHighestDepth());
  myMC.loadMovie("image.jpg");

-would it be possible to set the [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]_x[/COLOR] and [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]_y[/COLOR] of image.jpg relative to myMC?
You see moving myMC and then loading the picture into it will not help me because myMC is to be scaled and manipulated, so its axis must be in the center of the loaded image.
Of course I can always create a childMC within myMC and load image.jpg into myMC.childMC, but I’d like to avoid that if possible.
Thank you

loadMovie is technically not Actionscript 2, it’s Actionscript 1.

You’d do best moving on to AS2.0, which is the movieClipLoader class. Do a live docs search, you’ll find all those answers…

I wanted to use movieClipLoader but for some reason, after the loading is finished, the onLoadComplete event traces ‘0’ for the _width of the MC.

Would you kindly provide a links to the solution ? Just one? So I could say, "Thank you and please pardon my ignorance, for it was right under my nose and I didn’t see it."
thanx

You want to use --> onLoadInit()

Alright then, is there actually a way to change the position of the loaded PIXEL DATA and not that of the movie clip (any retard knows of that solution) 'cause of the billions of posts that touch on this subject, not one actually discusses how to do that. Is it actually possible?

:huh: Ummmmmmmm…

Well you didn’t know even with the billions of posts, so are you retard # 1 then ? :wink:

If you want to get help, calling people retards aint the way.

no, you cant move the pixel data, unless you create a bitmapdata object and read the movieclips pixeldata and then shift it.

however, why would you need to move pixel data in that sense? You can alway do something like;

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“mainholder”,5);
mainholder.createEmptyMovieClip(“subholder”,5);
mainholder.subholder._x = 5;

moviecliploader.loadClip(url,mainholder.subholder);

see what I mean?
