Alt To OnLoadError

OnLoadError
Hi there

Im building an application that loads a list of other swfs into it. Im using a class to handle all the loading and to allow the user to switch between swfs. Ive created an empty movieclip on the stage for each swf to load into ( ib code ), each clip has seperate MovieClipLoaders and Listeners. I want to attach a fallback clip from the library if a swf doesnt load properly.

However im having trouble attaching the fallback movieclip, screenLoadingErrorMessage from within the onLoadError event.

Here's my code

class ContentLoader
{
private function createContentArrays()
{
//create a movie clip for every swf thats loaded
//create MovieClipLoader for every swf thats loaded
//create Listener for every swf thats loaded

// create an on load error event to attach error message
contentListeners.onLoadError = function(target_mc:MovieClip)
{
var screenLoadingErrorMessage:MovieClip = target_mc.attachMovie("screenLoadingErrorMessage","screenLoadingErrorMessage",100);

trace("target_mc: " + target_mc); // ok
trace("screenLoadingErrorMessage: " + screenLoadingErrorMessage); // undefined
}
}

Can anyone tell me where im going wrong?

Thanks

OnLoadError Help Please
In the response to an onLoadError during a sequence of loadClip(targetSWF, targetMC) calls I want to replace the targetMC with a default symbol from the library using attachMovie. Because I want the attached clip to replace targetMC I store its name and parent before deleting it. The code below seems simple enough but newTarget traces undefined, while the other traces are fine. I've checked the symbol id etc in a simple version of the attachMovie statement that doesn't use the mc from the onLoadError event and it works ok. Is there a reason why this can't be done?









Attach Code

mainLoaderLstnr.onLoadError = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
loadDefault(target_mc);
};

function loadDefault(target) {
var targetName:String = target._name;
var targetParent:MovieClip = target._parent;
// delete target_mc which is to be replaced
target.removeMovieClip();
trace("loadDefault(): target: "+target+", targetParent: "+targetParent);
// attach defaultPane symbol
newTarget = targetParent.attachMovie("defaultPane_id",targetName,2);
trace("loadDefault(): newTarget: "+newTarget);
}

Trouble With OnLoadError
I'm using onLoadError, pretty much right from the Help example. I want to do nothing when a URL is not available. Instead I still get "Error opening URL ..." in the Output window. I am loading about 60 images from Web cameras. When one can't be loaded I want to ignore it. Here is the code.










Attach Code

var loadListener:Object = new Object();
loadListener.onLoadError = function(target_mc:MovieClip, errorCode:String, httpStatus:Number) {
//trace(">> loadListener.onLoadError()");
//trace(">> ==========================");
//trace(">> errorCode: " + errorCode);
//trace(">> httpStatus: " + httpStatus);
}
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(loadListener);
var mc5_4:MovieClip = this.createEmptyMovieClip("mc5_4", this.getNextHighestDepth());
mcLoader.loadClip("http://213.243.80.55:8383/", mc5_4);

OnLoadError Question
ok so i have this code:


ActionScript Code:
for (i=0; i<_root.pages; i++) {    slideMC_mc.duplicateMovieClip("slide"+i, i, {_x:i*234});    this["slide"+i].loadMovie("pics/"+i+".jpg");}


basically i want to trace("error"); if one of the pictures in the /pics directory isnt there.

I know I have to attach a listener and do myListenere.onLoadError = function(); but i dont know how to attach a listener to the dynamically created movieclips.

Sound.onLoadError?
I'm loading external mp3 using the loadSound method of the sound object. But it seems there's no onLoadError method (like the MovieClipLoader class has), which would be useful. Is there any way to take action if an mp3 isn't found?

OnLoadError For Checking File Exist?
Hi Everyone...
Just wondering if there is a easy way to dynamically check if a file exist, if not, then go do something. So far the only way I have found was to use the onLoadError of mclListener but not sure if this is the best way to tackle this.

Thanks

OnLoadError Issues With External Swfs
Hi everyone,

I've been bashing my head against a wall with this one for the past couple of weeks, and I think I'm starting to do some permanant damage.

What I have is this... I have a blank movieclip and on the first frame is the following:
this.attachMovie("adspace_mc1", "adspace1", 1);var adspace_mc1:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.onLoadError = function() {trace("an error occurred.");};
Now, the 'adspace' movieclip which is loaded with attachMovie contains the following actionscript attached to its instance on the stage:
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (counter == null) {
loadMovieNum("file1.swf", 1);
counter = 2;
} else if ((_level1._totalFrames != undefined) && (_level1._currentFrame == _level1._totalFrames)) {
filename = "file"+counter+".swf";
loadMovieNum(filename, 1);
counter++;
}

}As you can see, the movieclip loads a whole bunch of external swf files once by one, starting from file1.swf and going up (file2.swf, file3.swf, etc...). My problem is this. I'm trying to get the onLoadError command to tell me when we get to the end of the files that have to be uploaded, so I can set the counter back to 1. There's no way of me knowing how many file.swf files are going to be in the directory, so what I'm trying to do it to get Flash to start the counter again once there's an error (i.e. there are no more files to load).

Perhaps I'm going about this completely the wrong way, but it's driving me insane. I'd be really hapy if someone can help me out at all.

Thanks in advance,

Stu

MovieClipLoader Class, OnLoadError Event Handler
Hi everybody,

In some part of my code, i am using the MovieClipLoader Class.

In order to test it, i have use name of file that don't exist so i could test the onLoadError event handler.

The problem is that this event is called 2 time for each file and with the same errorCode and target mc.

Can someone tell me why this event is called 2 time. Only one time would be better since i am executing code when i get error.

Thanx,
SimonBoris.
