Depends on when. There are 3 main time intervals that matter: - class export frame - class runtime initialization - SWF runtime class meshing * runtime shared libraries
By default, in Flash MX 2004, classes are exported on frame 1; meaning they are initialized on frame 0 (which you can't do anything on), and I think static initializers are run on frame 1. So, if you leave the default on, you can access your classes from frame 1, and on. However, if your classes are exported on frame 2 or beyond, you'll have to wait for that particular frame to be fully downloaded. Additionally, some classes utilize runtime changes, such as EventDispatcher, DataSelector, and DataProvider. So, assuming your class does not depend on occuring before those events (which most never do), then you are usually fine as well. Runtime loading of SWF's, however, confuses me, and I haven't seen a defintive source that describes in what version, what happens in a loaded SWF has the same class, who overrwrites what, etc. Additionally, although Remote Shared Libraries act like #1, I don't know when they are actually insantiated, but I believe if you export them on frame 1, you can treat them as #1; I always have as compoents and they work fine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruno Mosconi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Flashcoders mailing list'" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 13, 2005 4:55 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] Class Loading How do I make sure that all Classes are fully loaded?
