MovieClip 487
Example
The following example loads information from a text file called params.txtinto the
target_mc
movie clip that is created by using
createEmptyMovieClip()
. The
setInterval()
function
is used to check the loading progress. The script checks for a variable in the params.txt file
named
done
.
this.createEmptyMovieClip("target_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
target_mc.loadVariables("params.txt");
function checkParamsLoaded() {
if (target_mc.done == undefined) {
trace("not yet.");
} else {
trace("finished loading. killing interval.");
trace("-------------");
for (i in target_mc) {
trace(i+": "+target_mc[i]);
}
trace("-------------");
clearInterval(param_interval);
}
}
var param_interval = setInterval(checkParamsLoaded, 100);
The params.txt file includes the following text:
var1="hello"&var2="goodbye"&done="done"
