</div>

function onLoad(){  
trace(“Calling SetInterval”);  
setInterval(this,“resizeImage”,1000);  
}

function resizeImage() {

}

Why is this setInterval not working? I am using this code within a class.

Thanks :thumb:

From where I’m standing there is nothing in the resizeImage function but I’m assuming that you didn’t post the entire code, so could you?

🙂

I think what the problem is that the movie clip that I have assigned that class to. I am loading in a jpeg to that movie clip. Which now according to my reading Flash Help wipes all the code associated with my movie clip? So nothing in my class will work.

What I want to do it.

Load a jpeg into a movie clip, when the jpeg is loaded resize that movie clip.

I want to do this will attach numerous movieclips to the stage at the same time

If I were you I’d load the image into an empty movie clip within the movie clip with the class association.
