Loader script suddenly doesn't work anymore?!

[kraaft]

I use this loader script for practically everything and it's always worked for me until now. I can't see what I've done that would stop it working as it still works fine in other parts of the movie?!

stop();
Stage.align = "LT";
orangeCover._width = Stage.width;
myLoadIncrements = Stage.width/100;
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
startLoad();

MovieClip.prototype.startLoad = function() {
holder.loadMovie("andrewPrice.swf");
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
percent = (holder.getBytesLoaded()/holder.getBytesTotal())*100;
myPercent = Math.floor(percent);
if (!isNaN(myPercent)) {
orangeCover._width = Stage.width-(myPercent*myLoadIncrements);
}
if (myPercent == 100) {
trace("d0ne");
holder._alpha = 100;
holder.gotoAndStop(2);
delete this.onEnterFrame; //*****this line?!****
}
}
};

It works fine if i leave off the delete this.onEnterFrame at the end but I don't want the onEnterFrame to continue during the rest of the movie!!
If I include the delete this.onEnterFrame the loading bar(orangeCover) reduces instantly and none of the final code works so the movie doesn't play...

any ideas appreciated....

Hi
The fact that it works elsewhere in the same program would seem to eliminate generic flaws. My initial workaround would be to create a flag that makes the code only run once. That is:

if (myPercent == 100) {
trace("d0ne");
holder._alpha = 100;
holder.gotoAndStop(2);
// check the flag here first...
if(_root.isLoaded != true){
_root.isLoaded = true; //this code will not run after the first time
delete this.onEnterFrame; //*****this line?!****
}
}


Obviously, you can wrap the flag checking code around as big a chunck of code as you desire.

Hope this helps...

Thanks for the info....I just modified oldNewbie's loading script to fit mine and it now works....I'm not sure what the problem was but I addressed all clips as _root.
