If you can, implement in Flash at the top of your code: _lockroot = true
If that doesn't work, try putting that code creating elements into a movie clip or component itself; running code on _root is bad anyway. ...frankly, I don't think this "functionality" is supported; I don't know what Flex is doing, if anything, to protect it's package paths from being overrwritten by the Flash MX 2004's framework; they are very similiar, yes, but... also different. Your mileage may vary; load with caution. ----- Original Message ----- From: "kredding.geo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2005 7:57 PM Subject: [flexcoders] loading a flash component If you use mx:Image to load a swf file, should the swf file work exactly the same as it does in flash, or does the actionScript in the Flash file take on new meaning once it is embedded into the Flex application? I am asking because I have the following script in my flash file. It works great in flash, but doesn't work at all in Flex? Is it just a depth issue? if so, how do I fix the depth to get it to work? What the code does in Flash, is it keeps creating a text input field everytime you put the cursor down. The field lets the user enter text and then create a new field. import mx.controls.TextInput; this.createEmptyMovieClip("card_canvas",10); card_canvas.width = 20; card_canvas.height = 20; var i:Number = 1 var nextDepth = 0; var mouseListener:Object = new Object(); mouseListener.onMouseDown = function() { card_canvas.createTextField ("mytext"+i,nextDepth++,card_canvas._xmouse,card_canvas._ymouse, 0, 0); card_canvas["mytext"+i].type = "input"; card_canvas["mytext"+i].autoSize = true; card_canvas["mytext"+i].multiline = true; card_canvas["mytext"+i].border = true; card_canvas["mytext"+i].background = true; card_canvas["mytext"+i].selectable = true; i++; }; Mouse.addListener(mouseListener); Yahoo!
