Any Actionscript experts, please?

[jsr]

Hi. I am simply trying to load a .gif file into my flash movie, but it just is not working. I can do it in a test file (code is below), yet in my project (my quarter mile simulator), it will not work.

var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container", 30);
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
mcLoader.addListener(this);
mcLoader.loadClip("car.gif", container);

Very simple, yet it will not display the gif. I use Safari and i can see the resource is called, but not displayed. I have now spent the past 4 hours trying to sort this and i'm now going mad.

Something must be stopping it, maybe something to do with the timeline or security? I have a listbox with a selection of cars which when the user chooses one, stats are displayed (this works) and the gif image should be loaded, but it doesnt. I've even created a test keyframe, with nothing on it at all and it still does not work.

Any help would be much appreciated (i appreciate its difficult without seeing the full code but there really is not much else going on in this frame!)

Cheers,
James

did Flash default back to Version 7 when publishing?

Doh! Flash had changed back to 7! Publishing for version 9 has solved it.

Thanks
