Could someone check out the way the object are created? All the classes work independently but somewhere I think I am messing the display up when I call a new Class.
I have two classes: one creates and loades a combobox and another class that creates and
loads an UILoader .
They both work fie independently.
In these classes below If I have the fileName and the Key in the UILoader class hard coded
all the Components and the Images display.
However, If I send the fileName and the Key from the CBMaorComponent class (cbMajor
Combobox )
when the selection is made there is no display.
The code traces that the UILoader is loaded with the proper URL's from the XML but no
Images show up on the mcContent(movieClip).
This is in the actions frame in the .fla
import flash.display.MovieClip;
import chromatic.load_files.UIImageComponent;
import chromatic.load_files.TLImageComponent;
import chromatic.load_files.CBMajorComponent;
import chromatic.load_files.CBMinorComponent;
var uiImageComponent:UIImageComponent=new UIImageComponent();
var tlImageComponent:TLImageComponent=new TLImageComponent();
var cbMajorComponent:CBMajorComponent=new CBMajorComponent();
var cbMinorComponent:CBMinorComponent=new CBMinorComponent();
cbMajorComponent=new CBMajorComponent();
addChild(cbMajorComponent.cbMajor);
cbMinorComponent=new CBMinorComponent();
addChild(cbMinorComponent.cbMinor);
uiImageComponent=new UIImageComponent();
mcContent.addChild(uiImageComponent.uiImage);
tlImageComponent=new TLImageComponent();
mcContent.addChild(tlImageComponent.tlImage);This is the UILoader class and it displays an image if I hard code the fileName and key
needed to get the URL from the XML.
but when I send it parameters from the CBMajorComponent class (combobox) it gets the
proper fileName and key variables but it will not display.

}
}This is the class that laods the combobox and in the selectedName method it sends the
UIImageComponent class (UILoader) the fileName and the key when a selection is made.
And that class excepts it and
loads the source derived from the XML but again no display of the selection made.

I didn't want to make it really confusing yet It may be relavant to add that I have two
more classes
(all four work at the same independent of each other but no passing of args(parameters)
mind you.
These two classes are identical to the first two but the combobox when selectedItem calls
it's CHANGE event(selectedName).
it sends the same fileName and key var. to the TLImageComponent class
(note: the combo box selection is irrelevent in these classes no matter what the selection
is it's function is to solely send the fileName and key and tht tlImage always does the
same thing.tlImage is the TileBox()/for now.)
The ComboBox()
