MACROMEDIA FLASH 8-FLASH LITE 2.X ACTIONSCRIPT LANGUAGE - Ondata (Movieclip.ondata Handler)

494 ActionScript classes
Example
The following example uses
_framesloaded and nextFrame()to load content into a SWF
file. Do not add any code to Frame 1, but add the following ActionScript to Frame 2 of the
Timeline:
if (this._framesloaded >= 3) {
this.nextFrame();
} else {
this.gotoAndPlay(1);
}
Then, add the following code (and the content you want to load) on Frame 3:
stop();

method)
onData (MovieClip.onData handler)
onData = function() {}
Invoked when a movie clip receives data from a MovieClip.loadVariables() or
MovieClip.loadMovie() call. You must define a function that executes when the event handler
is invoked. You can define the function on the Timeline or in a class file that extends the
MovieClip class or is linked to a symbol in the library.
This handler can be used only with movie clips for which you have a symbol in the library
that is associated with a class. If you want an event handler to be invoked when a specific
movie clip receives data, you must use onClipEvent() instead of this handler. The latter
handler is invoked when any movie clip receives data.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Lite 2.0
Example
The following example illustrates the correct use of
MovieClip.onData() and
onClipEvent(data).
The symbol_mc is a movie clip symbol in the library. It is linked to the MovieClip class. The
first function below is triggered for each instance of symbol_mc when it receives data.
The dynamic_mc is a movie clip that is being loaded with MovieClip.loadMovie(). The code
using dynamic_mc below attempts to call a function when the movie clip is loaded, but it
doesn't work. The loaded SWF file must be a symbol in the library associated with the
MovieClip class.
