Hi Fabrice, Embed metadata works on compile time, right way of doing is:
[Embed(source="skins/OPSkin.swf", symbol="updownMC")] var upDownMC:String updownMC symbol would be embedded in your flex app and linkageID would be assigned to updownMC variable declared below the metadata tag.... Does that help you? -abdul -----Original Message----- From: Fabrice closier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 7:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] attach/createObject Hi All, i'am new to this list and new to Flex. i'am a Flash developer and i get a bit confused by the way Flex works. I would like to achieve the following. in Flash using the attachMovie you directly fill a movieclip container with a linked symbol from the library. in Flex i have a class building a container. i would like to be able to do the following in the class container --> attachMovie located in an external swf i saw the embed tag, where you can add an external image or swf into a container. in mxml this one works <mx:Image source="@Embed('skins/OPSkin.swf#updownMC')" id="updown" /> this displays the symbol on stage. this in a script tag doesn't work... acoording to documentation it should.... <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ function attach() } [Embed('skins/OPSkin.swf#updownMC')] var updownMC:String; // traces undefined } ]]> </mx:Script> i'am sure i'am missing something somewhere.... and how do i use this synthax from a class? using createObject()? Any help would be more than welcome. Fabrice Yahoo! Groups Links
