The LiveDocs are wrong, it is not String. Also, the #symbol format doesn't work for me in 1.5, but does in 2. If you send the SWF to me offlist, I'll send you back a working example
Also, what version is your SWF? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brendan Meutzner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2006 5:57 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Flex 2 - swf symbols Thanks guys... However, there still seems to be issues. I'm using the same swf file in both a 1.5 project and 2.0 project. When I try to embed it using: [Embed("assets/graphics/swfs/SideNavArrows.swf#ArrowUp")] it works in 1.5 but not in 2.0, so I'm assuming there's nothing wrong with my swf file. The error I get in 2.0 displays "Definition for symbol 'ArrowUp' not found." Has anyone had success importing swf files with symbols using the syntax Jester suggested below? <mx:Image id="arrow_image" source="upImage" /> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ [Embed("assets/graphics/swfs/SideNavArrows.swf#ArrowUp")] private var upImage:Class; ]]> </mx:Script> Thanks, Brendan --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Clint Modien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex/00000793.html > > > On 1/8/06, JesterXL <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Your syntax is off; it should be: > > > > var myImage3:Class > > > > Not: > > > > var myImage3:String; > > > > If your linkage ID of your symbol is "image3", then it should work. > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Brendan Meutzner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> > > Sent: Sunday, January 08, 2006 5:17 PM > > Subject: [flexcoders] Flex 2 - swf symbols > > > > > > Hi All, > > > > Does somebody have a working example of importing swf symbols into a > > Flex 2 Application?
