[Xerte] Re: event failing on second call

[Dave Burnett]

I tried myIcon.readFile and that seems to be able to be called repeatedly without issue.Must just be something with loadVars.Odd.

If you load a swf into a movieclip, you lose any custom methods / properties of that clip after the load. So you can do mc.someFunction = function(){ //blah  }mc.loadMovie(‘some.swf’, blah) and then in some.swf’s timeline call this.somefunction. It doesn’t exist. Maybe I was thinking of that. Not sure what’s going with loadVars, I’ve never used them, but either debug things in the engine, or send me a simple example and I’ll see what’s happening.

Subject: [Xerte] Re: event failing on second callI think its like loading XML where the load wipes out methods / properties on the object. Can you build a new icon for each load vars call? i.e. INT  BUT    TXT // a dummy loadVars    SCR //kick off the loadvars     INT      EVT        //handle the loadvars From: xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk [mailto:xerte-bounces at lists.nottingham.ac.uk] On Behalf Of Dave Burnett

Date: Thu, 29 Mar 2012 06:43:54 -0400 I click a button to pop up a scrolling text window which is populated with a loadVars call to a text file. rootIcon.loadVars('http://www.myserver.com/common/revisions.txt?nt=' + (new Date()).getTime()); followed by an Event interaction onLoadVarsrootIcon  It works the first time, but if I click the button again, the event will not fire again.I ran into this once before but can't remember what the issue was.
