1

flash cs3 timeline code:


var band_load:String = "Thrice";
var image_xml:XML;

var xmlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/artist/"+band_load+"/topalbums.xml");
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

    function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void
    {
        
    image_xml = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
    
    
    //SIMILAR ARTISTS

    var imgLoader:Loader;
    
    
    var slide:Sprite;
    slide = new Sprite();
    //slide.width = 10;    
    //slide.height = 10;
    slide.x = 10;
    slide.y = 10;
    addChild(slide);
    
    imgLoader = new Loader();
    imgLoader.load(new URLRequest(image_xml.album[0].image.medium));
    
    slide.addChild(imgLoader);
    
    }

xmlLoader.load(xmlReq);
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);

i dont know how to resize the loaded image, if i use


slide.width = 10;    
slide.height = 10;

nothing is displayed :(. if i remove these 2 lines, everything works fine but my image is not the right size

wait until it loads

imgLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, imgLoaded);

function imgLoaded(e:Event):void {
//can use slide.width/slide.height
	e.target.content.width = 10;
	e.target.content.height = 10
}
