Using the assetloader coming across a small issue, not a
bug, just a
"how should we solve this?"

When loading a swf that contains other movie clips on stage
in frame 1,
I want to know when the swf has loaded and when the movie
clips on stage
are also loaded.  Using total load complete with the
assetloader tells
you when the swf has loaded, but any movie clips on the
stage are still
initializing... For example, I have a swf called
eventTemplate.swf  and
on stage in frame1 is a movie clips called eventDetailsForm
:

This is the event handler for total load complete :

 [INFO] 2006-07-28 00:42:47,390 | [FINE]
com.aso.view.eventemplate.EventTemplateApplication -
onEventDetailFormLoaded:58 - eventTemplate.swf was loaded by
the asset
loader

So the "swf" is loaded, and in frame 1 of that
swf there is a movie clip
on stage called "eventDetailsForm"

But if I try an use it "now"  :

[INFO] 2006-07-28 00:52:09,750 | [FINE]
com.aso.view.eventemplate.EventTemplateApplication -
onEventDetailFormLoaded:67 - eventDetailForm = null


Its null.

So I added some logging to the "onLoad" of the
eventDetailsForm :

 [INFO] 2006-07-28 00:52:09,812 | [FINE]
com.aso.view.eventemplate.EventDetailForm - onLoad:48 - this
is
_level0.appContainer.instance1.eventTemplateContainer.eventD
etailForm

And as you can see by the timestamp is after the total load
complete was
executed.

So the "hack" I have right now, is I use the ARP
framework anyway and I
wrote arpx which has a system level event dispatcher, call
it a "app
event" dispatcher.  I register with it to say
"tell me when the
eventDetailsForm is loaded" and in the
eventDetailsForm onLoad method I
fire a system level event :  	

dispatchSystemEvent(new Event(StandardEventNames.ON_LOAD,
ApplicationAssets.EVENT_DETAILS_FORM));

This works, but a whole lot of work considering I'd really
like fling to
say "hey I loaded that swf AND any movie clips of
frame 1 are also fully
loaded"....

So... Ideas ?



Thanks

Hey Grant,

Yeah, I experienced this very thing and changed MovieAsset
to dispatch
"ASSETLOADCOMPLETE" only on the onInit() method
not the onComplete().
I figured that there is no point in letting people know when
the Movie
has loaded if it's not completely ready to use. Check out
the latest
from SVN to see my change.

If this isn't what you are talking about, please explain
further.
