Issue with URLRequest in an extended class

programming flash
1

Hello,

I’m new to AS3 and I’m having a problem with an extended class that uses a URLRequest.

I have a basic class called ‘imageLoader’ that I use for loading in external images

package com.images
{
	import flash.display.*;
	import flash.events.*;
	import flash.net.*;
	
	public class imageLoader
	{
		// ------- Constructor -------
		public function imageLoader(path:String)
		{
			_loaded = false;
			
			_loader = new Loader();
			_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
			
			_loader.load(new URLRequest(path));
		}

		// ------- Properties -------
		public var _loaded:Boolean;

		public var _loader:Loader;

		// ------- Methods -------
		public function imageLoaded(myEvent:Event):void
		{
			_loaded = true;
		}

		public function hasImageLoaded():Boolean
		{
			return _loaded;
		}

		public function destroy():void
		{
			_loader.unload();
		}
	}
}

This class is working fine, however I wanted to create a new class extending this one that would eventually store more variables and functions.


package com.icon
{
	import flash.display.*;
	import flash.events.*;
	import flash.net.*;
	
	import com.images.imageLoader;
	
	public class iconImage extends imageLoader
	{
		// ------- Constructor -------
		public function iconImage(path:String)
		{
			_loaded = false;
			
			_loader = new Loader();
			_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageLoaded);
			
			_loader.load(new URLRequest(path));
		}
	
	}
}

Now in my actual flash file when I try to use the new extended class with something like the following;


var drawIcon:iconImage = new iconImage("test.png");

I get the following error;

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.

But using the original class works fine without an error;


var drawIcon:imageLoader = new imageLoader("test.png");

Does anyone have any ideas?
