hey kids, i asked this question awhile back i just thought i’ld take another shot in the dark and see if any one can help me out. i’m loading a jpg into a blank movie clip and i want to know when it’s done loading, so i put a dynamic event handler on it, something like so

blankClip.loadMovie(“monster\*\*\*\*.jpg”);  
blankClip.onLoad=function(){  
trace(“loaded YAY”);  
}

however, when the jpg loads into the clip it erases the dynamic handler. You might say this makes sense, it does, but if i were to put this same load script, on the blankClip itself as a clipEvent it works just fine.

onClipEvent(load){  
trace(“loaded YAY”);  
}

blankClip.loadMovie(“monster\*\*\*\*.jpg”);

somebodys gotta have something for me. any tricks suggestions? greatly appreciated.
