Mc.OnRelease not working

1

Im having problems when loading a movieClip into an empty container, I can’t access the onRelease event. For example:

 
t1.onRelease = function() {
 currentPic ='products/pro/mainImage.jpg';
 cMC.loadPic(currentPic);
};
 
MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(pic) {
 
 this.loadMovie(pic);

**//not working**
** this.onRelease = function(){
  this.unloadMovie(pic);
 }**
}

Any ideas??
Thanks

so you just can’t get the onRelease to work? because if its in another contrainer you scope is wrong you would need containName.mc.onRelease=function()

You cannot assign onRelease functions to a clip you just loaded. The load command, which is **not **necessarily performed immediatley after the loadMovie() method is invoked, rewrites all methods and properties of the clip receiving the load. So a work around is something like

ActionScript Code:
[FONT=Courier New][LEFT][COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]onEnterFrame[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]**function**[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]

[COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]onRelease[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#000000]function[/COLOR] COLOR=#000000[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#808080]// do stuff[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#0000FF]delete[/COLOR] [COLOR=#0000FF]this[/COLOR].[COLOR=#0000FF]onEnterFrame[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
[/LEFT]
[/FONT]

Hi, I have attached a sample of what i am trying to acheive. So when you click on the main image it hides it, but the onRelease event still not working.

Thanks;)

t1.onRelease = function() {
	currentPic = 'products/pro/mainImage.jpg';
	cMC.loadPic(currentPic);
};
MovieClip.prototype.loadPic = function(pic) {
	this.loadMovie(pic);
	var clip = this;
	var temp = this._parent.createEmptyMovieClip("temp", 9978);
	temp.onEnterFrame = function() {
		if (clip._width) {
			clip.onRelease = function() {
				this.unloadMovie();
			};
			delete this.onEnterFrame;
		}
	};
};
