I’m trying to figure out how to call a function in my class when onClipInit is executed. Here is the code that I am using right now:

```auto

class Portfolio {
   private function loadArtwork() {
      var clip = new MovieClipLoader;
      clip.onLoadInit = function() {
         resizeArtwork();
      }
      clip.loadClip("image.jpg", _root.img);
   }
   private function resizeArtwork() {
      _root.img._width = 55;
      _root.img._height = 55;
   }
}

```

I also tried the following code (the change is in red), but it seems that resizeArtwork() fired prematurely.

```auto

class Portfolio {
   private function loadArtwork() {
      var clip = new MovieClipLoader;
      [COLOR=Red]**clip.onLoadInit = resizeArtwork();**[/COLOR]
      clip.loadClip("image.jpg", _root.img);
   }
   private function resizeArtwork() {
      _root.img._width = 55;
      _root.img._height = 55;
   }
}

```

If anybody has a solution, that would be awesome.
