Load images as Sprite Problem

[bbarney261]

I'm loading some images into an image gallery. I'm having trouble figuring out how to put each image into a Sprite so I can access the mouse events. When a users clicks on a image I would like to load an external page. Here is the code that I have:

function spaceImages():void{
mcContainer.x = 10;
mcContainer.y = 79;
for(var i:int = 0; i < images.length;i++){
images[i].x = images[i].width * i + padding;
mcContainer.addChild(images[i]);
}
}

Does anyone know a way that I could add the images to a sprite and then add the sprite to mcContainer?

Any help you be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Hi bbarney261,

We'd need to see how you're loading your images to help you. Are you using Loader? If so, Loader has all the same DisplayObject properties as Sprite so it's effectively already a Sprite. You can assign it to a varaible to make it easier to handle like this:

var obj:DisplayObject;

function loadComplete(event:Event):void {
loader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event .INIT, loadComplete);
obj = loader.contentLoaderInfo.content;
}

Hope this helps!

Matt :)
