Hi all,
I am new in this group, so hello to everyone :-)
I want to discuss here about SWFLoader component in Flex 3, and how to
access their contents... programatically.
Just for short:
I have an existing, empty SWFLoader object in my MXML code.
After some time, I just want to populate it using SWFLoader.load()
method with an external SWF movie, that has child MovieClips inside.
Right after call the .load() method, I am insterested (in the same
function) to access its children to move positions, etc. So, if I do
something like:
var myloader:SWFLoader= this.swfload;
and then
myloader.load("shelf2.swf");
and then
myloader.content["s2"].alpha=0.3;
It does not work at all. I tried myloader.addEventListener(...) with
several events, does not work.
The only way was to put that "myloader.content["s2"].alpha..." inside
a setTimeout function, to allow SWFLoader to take some time to load.
But you agree with me that this is so dirty.
any ideas? Thanks to everyone!
