This is my first post to the list in 2008 so hi and compliments of the season to y'all. So, here's the context...
I have an application framework built in AS3 and based on the MVC pattern. One of my Views loads a compiled swf also built in AS3. When it is that View's turn to be displayed, it gets added to the display list and then needs to call a custom method on the loaded swf so that loaded swf does its thing (it's a game). Here's the problem... Although I can invoke the required method on the loaded swf, I couldn't get the compiler to stop complaining (it's compiling in Strict mode) so I had to do a bit of a kludge to trick the compiler. I am sure there is a better and proper way of doing this - can you tell me what it is? Here's the code that loads the game swf (for the sake of context)... gameLoader = new Loader(); // some listeners registered here var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest( gameURL ); gameLoader.load(request); The Document Class of the swf at 'gameURL' contains a method call 'startup' and this is the one I want to invoke. So I tried this... gameLoader.content.startup(); Predictably, the compiler utters the following... "1061: Call to a possibly undefined method startup through a reference with static type flash.display:DisplayObject." I tried a few things (including casting gameLoader.content to the Document Class) but the only thing I could get to work is this... gameLoader.content["startup"](); Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
