preloading images via a database

muk55 · 09-02-2003, 04:08 PM

We're having problem with making a preloader for a movie which loads the
images via a database.
A php script grabs the file names of the images and sends these to a flash
file.
Then the flash file uses the loadMovie() action to put the images (whith
the names fetched from the php script) into movieclips. How is it then
possible to detect when the bytes of the graphics are loaded?
It seems like onClipEvent(data) just functions when it's used together
with a loadVariables action - as it otherwise triggers several times.
Is there any solution to this problem?

You should not cross post.

Are you using Flash Remoting to load the image names? If not this is probably better suited for the Flash MX forum.
