Re: [Flashcoders] Getting bitmap data after successfully loading a swf file

[Glen Pike]

Hi,

    If your loaded asset is a swf, you cannot just access the 
bitmapData property - it does not have one.

    However, you can draw the contents of a MovieClip / Sprite / 
DisplayObject into a BitmapData object, which you can then pass to the 
constructor of a Bitmap.

    You should also use the INIT event rather than the COMPLETE event 
for loaded objects because your SWF may have to initialise when it's 
loaded and you cannot be guaranteed that height, width and child clips 
are on stage.

    HTH

hi there,

code, the SWF file just didn't work. Would you please take a look for me? Is
there anything I am missing??

I am using flash 9 and all files are on the same domain. Thanks

====================================

import flash.net.URLRequest;import flash.display.Loader;

// I am able to use the PNG/JPG files

var fileURL:String = "http://www.google.com/images/logos/ps_logo2.png";

// BUT!!!  the SWF just doesn't work!!!!, it always return null!

//var fileURL:String = "xxxxx.swf"

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(fileURL);
var loader:Loader = new
Loader();loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
dataCompleteHandler);loader.load(request);
function dataCompleteHandler(e:Event):void{
        var image:Bitmap = new Bitmap(e.currentTarget.content.bitmapData);
        addChild(image);}
