Hi How do I control the timeline of a loaded swf file (created with the Flash 8 IDE) with AS 3? My problem is that the "content" property of a Loader object returns me a display object but not a movieclip.
I tried casting but my application crashes when I try to run it. Any ideas? Robin // here's my callback function, which is executed once the external swf is // loaded private function onLoadComplete(event:Event):void { var myDisplayObject:DisplayObject = myLoader.content; // this creates an run time error loadedSWF = myDisplayObject as MovieClip; loadedSWF.play(); } _______________________________________________ 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
