Event.COMPLETE not firing

[Icy Penguin]

Hey all,

I have a simple image loader trying to load an image with an Event Listener.

The COMPLETE event never fires however.

If I use Event.ENTER_FRAME, for example, the image loads in there just fine (but is done so hundreds of times, of course).




...


private var imageLoader:Loader;
var request:URLRequest;

private function loadImage() {
request = new URLRequest(itemData[itemId][3]);
imageLoader = new Loader();
imageLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, imageComplete);
imageLoader.load(request);
}
public function imageComplete(event:Event) {
addChild(imageLoader);
}

...



public const any_help_appreciated:Boolean = true;

:)

If you listen for progress (ProgressEvent.PROGRESS) do you get reports?

[Krilnon]

Shouldn't you be adding the listener to the contentLoaderInfo property of the Loader?

[Icy Penguin]

Nope. Used this code: (don't know if I did it right)




import flash.events.ProgressEvent;
..
imageLoader.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRES S, imageProgress);
..

public function imageProgress(event:Event) {
trace("Wheeee")
}

@Krilnon: what's contentLoaderInfo?

:)

I read something about Garbage Collection eating up the event listeners and such - but the subsequent garble didn't make much sense to me.

Changed the progress code and I get two "Whee"s in the output.



imageLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Pro gressEvent.PROGRESS, imageProgress);
public function imageProgress(event:ProgressEvent) {
trace("Wheeee")
}


EDIT: And adding 'contentLoaderInfo' to the Event.COMPLETE works just fine.

Thanks :)
