for Loop help with Navigation and loadMovie

[bdavey311]

So I used this and still no go:

for(var i:Number = 0; i<menuArray.length; i++){
    var btn:MovieClip = menuArray[i].mc;
    btn.btnMC.btnText.text = menuArray[i].name;
    btn.queue = i;
    btn.onRelease = function(){
        toggleButtons(this);
        _root.createEmptyMovieClip("movieContainer", 5);
        loadMovie(menuArray[this.queue].label.concat('.swf'), "movieContainer");
    }
}

Right?

Try:

for(var i:Number = 0; i<menuArray.length; i++){
var btn:MovieClip = menuArray[i].mc;
btn.btnMC.btnText.text = menuArray[i].name;
btn.queue = i;
btn.onRelease = function(){
toggleButtons(this);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("movieContainer", 5);
loadMovie(menuArray[this.queue].label.concat('.swf'), movieContainer);
}
}

If not we'll try a different approach.

Damn! I was so excited too. No errors or anything but nothing happened.

Maybe:

for(var i:Number = 0; i<menuArray.length; i++){
var btn:MovieClip = menuArray[i].mc;
btn.btnMC.btnText.text = menuArray[i].name;
btn.queue = i;
btn.onRelease = function(){
toggleButtons(this);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("movieContainer", 5);
container.loadMovie(menuArray[this.queue].label.concat('.swf'));
}
}

If that fails we'll try:


for(var i:Number = 0; i<menuArray.length; i++){
var btn:MovieClip = menuArray[i].mc;
btn.btnMC.btnText.text = menuArray[i].name;
btn.queue = i;
btn.onRelease = function(){
toggleButtons(this);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("movieContainer", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myListener.onLoadInit = function(targetMC:MovieClip) {
trace(movieContainer._width);
trace(movieContainer._height);
}
var imageLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
imageLoader.addListener(myListener);
imageLoader.loadClip(menuArray[this.queue].label.concat('.swf'), movieContainer);
}
}

to see if the movie is being created.

Tried them both. Nothing happened.

I also changed this:

Maybe:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("movieContainer", 5);
container.loadMovie(menuArray[this.queue].label.concat('.swf'));

to this:

Maybe:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("movieContainer", 5);
movieContainer.loadMovie(menuArray[this.queue].label.concat('.swf'));

...and still nothing.

Bugger, I'm perplexed. I don't have Flash installed here, I'll have a play when I get home in about 10 hours.

One last thing to try:

for(var i:Number = 0; i<menuArray.length; i++){
var btn:MovieClip = menuArray[i].mc;
btn.btnMC.btnText.text = menuArray[i].name;
btn.queue = i;
btn.onRelease = function(){
toggleButtons(this);
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("movieContainer", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var myListener:Object = new Object();
myListener.onLoadInit = function(targetMC:MovieClip) {
trace(movieContainer._width);
trace(movieContainer._height);
}
var imageLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
imageLoader.addListener(myListener);
imageLoader.loadClip(menuArray[this.queue].label.concat('.swf'), movieContainer);
}
}

The post above originally said 'this' not '_root'.

Sorry I really should check what I'm posting.

[bdavey311]

Nada. No errors either. Just nothing.

Thanks though man.

How about:

for(var i:Number = 0; i<menuArray.length; i++){
var btn:MovieClip = menuArray[i].mc;
btn.btnMC.btnText.text = menuArray[i].name;
btn.queue = i;
btn.onRelease = function(){
toggleButtons(this);
loadMovieNum(menuArray[this.queue].label.concat('.swf'), 5);
}
}
