Hi Alex!
Good to hear from you.
And yes, you're right! I got it to work but there's so much code involved just
to get this module loaded.
Gosh...I wonder if I am in the right direction or not...
This code is basically based on "Hai Nguyen" example from eSoftHead with little
modification (Thx Hai!).
Here's the code if anyone is interested:
<mx:WindowedApplication>
<mx:Script>
private function loadSwf():void
{
var dir:File = File.applicationStorageDirectory
dir = dir.resolvePath("SimpleSwf.swf");//SimpleSwf is the
module
var myURLRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(dir.url);
var myURLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myURLLoader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
myURLLoader.load(myURLRequest);
myURLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadModuleCompleteHandler);
}
private function loadModuleCompleteHandler(pEvent:Event):void
{
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.allowLoadBytesCodeExecution = true;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var moduleLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var loader:URLLoader = URLLoader(pEvent.target);
moduleLoader.loadBytes(loader.data,context);
moduleLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeLoader);
}
private function completeLoader(e:Event): void {
var moduleLoader:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo(e.target);
moduleLoader.content.addEventListener("ready", readyHandler);
}
private function readyHandler(e:Event): void {
var factory:IFlexModuleFactory = IFlexModuleFactory(e.target);
var module:Module = factory.create() as Module;
container.addChild(module);
}
</mx:Script>
<mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:Button label="Load SWF" click="loadSwf()"/>
<mx:VBox id="container"/>
</mx:VBox>
</mx:WindowedApplication>
