ArgumentError thrown on ImageLoader

[MDiddy 1 Likes (Newbie)]

Hi I'm probably doing something wrong but I can't seem to come up with the correct way to do this. I have a timeline app that I'd like to LoaderMax because it seems like it would take a ton of the hassle out of loading all the assets necessary. I have a bunch of png slices that I compose to build out most of the visuals. There are four layers of assets that slide at slightly different rates so I grouped each layer as its own LoaderMax object. My goal was to load each part (ImageLoader) then arrange them, one after the other. Here's my problem:

 

When I use a width attribute with ImageLoader nodes, I get a compile error:

ArgumentError: Error #2004: One of the parameters is invalid.

Is this the best practice? How can I avoid this error?

If you're going to define a width, you must define a height as well (both or neither). You can set the scaleMode to "widthOnly" if you want to only have it squeeze/stretch the width and leave the height of the object alone, but keep in mind that ImageLoader, SWFLoader, and VideoLoader will create a ContentDisplay object immediately and if you define a width and height it will draw a rectangle accordingly so that interactive events fire properly (ROLL_OVER, CLICK, etc.) so it needs a width AND height to draw that rectangle properly.
