If something can't be done, I'll tell you, and it is rare that you can't do something, it is usually a matter of how hard.
I'm usually going to type as little as possible and hope you'll search for the 9 other times I've answered this question, but just so it is in recent history: Someone should file an enhancement request to make a property on MCLA that exposes the internal SWF. Right now, you have to use getChildAt(0).content or something like that. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 1:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: .swf displays fine, but MovieClip methods fail --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > When you embed a SWF, it gets wrapped in a MovieClipLoaderAsset and is > not the MovieClip itself. Thanks... so that explains why it doesn't work and that helps a little, but... umm... ok.... and?? What would I do to fix this? I'm trying to read between the lines - does this mean I can't do it this way and I need to instead load in the .swf and not embed, or that I just need to find a way to extract the actual movie clip out of MovieClipLoaderAsset? Thanks for any help, Jason
