if you can, i would do this: instead of loading the flash movie, calling the server for the name of the movie to load, and then calling the server again to load the movie i would do this:
pass the name of the movie to load through the html to the flash movie: movie.swf?movieName=movietoload.swf that should save you a trip to the server. let me know if this doesnt make sense or if you would like some more info. mike chambers [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -----Original Message----- > From: Stacy Young [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 10:29 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Flash Remoting and Popchart > > > Plus popchart is generating the clip complete with drilldown > navigation > which I *think* calls a loadMovie for the next drilldown. > Whether or not all > that will work embedded inside my mx app....I will soon find out... > > Being able to return a swf via remoting would save me a round > trip to the > server... > > Stace > > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Liotta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 10:20 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Flash Remoting and Popchart > > I believe ActionScript objects have to be statically linked > to SWFs, so > simply returning an ActionScript object isn't going to work. > > Matt Liotta > President & CEO > Montara Software, Inc. > http://www.montarasoftware.com/ > 888-408-0900 x901 > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Jon Gorrono [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 7:19 PM > > To: CF-Talk > > Subject: Re: Flash Remoting and Popchart > > > > On Friday, September 6, 2002, at 06:52 PM, Stacy Young wrote: > > > > > Was about to whip up a Flash mx app and pull in some of > my Popcharts > ( > > > http://www.corda.com )...I'm figuring I can do this by having a > > > component > > > return the url of the flash clip to flash and have it > embed it in my > > > movie... > > > > > > Was wondering if anyone had an opinion on other ways?
