Once again, thanks for the useful tutorial. Keep up the good work.

In order to alter the image’s width/height or x/y position you just need to access your image’s properties as so: myMovieclip.x = 100. You can replace .x with width, height, or y in order to change any of those properties.

However, in my particular case, I had to remove the Public keyword from both methods because I was getting this error —

“1114: The public attribute can only be used inside a package.”

Also — it would be really nice to know how to resize the image or place it in a particular X / Y coordinate — those are the two most important image functions I’d think.

Thanks for your code.

Hi, maybe U can help me…
I’m trying for day to solve a problem about loading external files.
I had made some function, pretty much like yours to load my images, the problem is that evetualy I need to load again the same image on other position.
send the code above:

var url:Array = [];
var loader:Array = [];
var target:String; // can be “target1″, “target2″, “target3″ or “target4″

for(var nn:uint=1; nn<=99; nn++){
//setting URLs
url[nn] = new URLRequest("r" + nn + ".swf");

//creating loaders to each image
loader[nn] = new Loader();

//setting image into loaders
loader[nn].load(url[nn]);
}

//——— declaring functions —————————- ———————————-//
function loaderComplete(e:Event):void{
trace("carregamento completo", e.target.width, "px de largura");
}

// Here we set value the image, collum and line number So we can set pre-set positions in the target
function MarcaSorteada(bolaSorteada:uint, C, L, target):void{
//adding every loaders on the right movieClip on stage
target.addChild(loader[bolaSorteada]);

//adding listeners for when loading is completed
loader[bolaSorteada].contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderComplete);

else if(C==0 && L==2) { loader[bolaSorteada].x = 0; loader[bolaSorteada].y = altura * 2; }

//coluna 1

else if(C==2 && L==2) { loader[bolaSorteada].x = largura * 2; loader[bolaSorteada].y = altura * 2; }

Problem is:
if I set to load Image "X" on target 1 AND target 2, it is only see on target 2
if I set to load Image "X" on taget 1 AND target 2 AND target 3, it is only seem on target 3

I think it is respositioning the images insted of creat a new one.
Do you have any ideas how to make that work?

regards.

I am find to it very long time.

Working perfect, thank again..
