FLASH® LITE™ 2.x - Adobe Help and Support

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 loads, for example when you use MovieClip.loadMovie() to load a SWF file
dynamically, you must use onClipEvent(load) or the MovieClipLoader class instead of this
handler. Unlike MovieClip.onLoad, the other handlers are invoked when any movie clip
loads.
Example
This example shows you how to use the onLoad event handler in an ActionScript 2.0 class
definition that extends the MovieClip class. First, create a class file named Oval.as and define
a class method named onLoad() and make sure that the class file is placed in the proper class
path:
// contents of Oval.as
class Oval extends MovieClip{
public function onLoad () {
trace ("onLoad called");
}
}
Second, create a movie clip symbol in your library and name it Oval. Context-click (usually
right-click) on the symbol in the Library panel and select Linkage... from the pop-up menu.
Click on "Export for ActionScript" and fill in the "Identifier" and "ActionScript 2.0 Class"
fields with the word "Oval" (no quotes). Leave "Export in First Frame" checked and click
OK.
Third, go to the first frame of your file and enter the following code in the Actions Panel:
var myOval:Oval = Oval(attachMovie("Oval","Oval_1",1));
Finally, do a test movie, and you should see the output text "onLoad called".

Invoked when the mouse button is pressed. 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.
Note: This event handler is supported in Flash Lite only if System.capabilities.hasMouse
is true or System.capabilities.hasStylus is true.
