Hey!
Ive been taking a break from flash but im back on to it at the moment and a tad annoyed at a problem ive got.
I made a simple class which derived from movieclip, lets say called simpleSprite. I then made a method (Function) within the class called loadImageResource(strResource:String).
public function loadImageResource(strResource:String)
{
var ImageLoader = new Loader();
ImageLoader.load(new URLRequest(strResource));
ImageLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, this.loadResource);
ImageLoader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, this.onIOError);
ImageLoader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, this.onSecurityError);
ImageLoader.addEventListener(HTTPStatusEvent.HTTP_STATUS, this.onHTTPError);
//this.addChild(ImageLoader);
}
public function loadResource(e:Event){...}
public function onIOError(e:Event){...}
public function onSecurityError(e:Event){...}
public function onHTTPError(e:Event){...}
Now imagine that the bottom functions have lots of fancy stuff in them, as ive just put … in there to signify there is some error assertion or something.
Anyway the above theoretically should go into the function get the file, then given the asynchronous nature will get back to me in a second calling loadResource() telling me that its complete. However what acctually happens is that it runs through the functions but none of the onXXXXXX or loadResource functions are called, its like the event goes to limbo land.
Originally the functions were private which i changed thinking it may need them public for callback purposes, however that didnt work, i then tried attaching the eventlistener to the class (this.XXXX) rather than the imageLoader…
I can get this to work if i put it outside of the class in some “global” area, however surely there must be a way to let classes load their own content and keep it encapsulated, i.e a player class that has its custom player details and its sprite information.
Has anyone done image loading within a class before as i cant get it to run for the life of me…
