addListener (MovieClipLoader.addListener method)

Registers an object to receive notification when a MovieClipLoader event handler is invoked.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 7

Parameters

listener:Object - An object that listens for a callback notification from the MovieClipLoader event handlers.

Returns

Boolean - A Boolean value. Returns true if the listener was established successfully; otherwise false.

Example

The following example loads an image into a movie clip called image_mc. The movie clip instance is rotated and centered on the Stage, and both the Stage and movie clip have a stroke drawn around their perimeters.

this.createEmptyMovieClip("image_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
    target_mc._x = Stage.width/2-target_mc._width/2;
    target_mc._y = Stage.height/2-target_mc._height/2;
    var w:Number = target_mc._width;
    var h:Number = target_mc._height;
    target_mc.lineStyle(4, 0x000000);
    target_mc.moveTo(0, 0);
    target_mc.lineTo(w, 0);
    target_mc.lineTo(w, h);
    target_mc.lineTo(0, h);
    target_mc.lineTo(0, 0);
    target_mc._rotation = 3;
};
var image_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
image_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
image_mcl.loadClip("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/images/image1.jpg", image_mc);

If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 component's DepthManager class instead of the MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method, which is used in this example.
