Mike, that's untrue. Components don't need to be loaded in first frame. I am writing a program with a lot of components. In my Actionscript settings, I have the "Export frame for classes "set to 3. For all my components "Export in first frame" is unchecked, as well as all my MovieClip which need to be exported to Actionscript.
Then I put all my components and MovieClip which will be created by Actionscript in the fourth frame (on the stage but out of view). These are the components I use in this movie: Accordion, Alert, Button, Checkbox, Combobox, Label, List, NumericStepper, RadioButton, TextArea, TextInput, Tree, Window, and some home made components. But I am sure it will work with all of them. Cheers, Benjamin. -----Original Message----- From: Mick G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 24, 2006 1:15 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Export frame option disabled This is one of the reasons I avoid MM components unless I totally have to. Most of the components will only work if you export in first frame so the only option I''ve found is: - Put your content in an external SWF (which also causes problems because of a bug with the components needing an instance in the root library if they're loaded into target MCs). So, you now need to create a Shared Library for the components and preload them (or if you don't want the hassle of a shared library, some components get around this bug if you put a _lockroot in the SWF containing them). I'd love to hear other peoples solutions to component preloading. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
