Re: [flexcoders] Using Loader to load multiple SWF (Flex 1.5)

[Anatole Tartakovsky]

Renaun,     You can avoid doubles in SWF size if you use RSLs and mark them external for loadable modules. We have developed "flexlets" that were under 20K.     As far as screen sizing we had to do this:   <mx:SWFLoader  width="100%" height="100%"  trustContent="true" id="loader" autoLoad="true"  init="loader.percentWidth=99;loader.percentWidth=100"/> did not have problems with height. Not pretty, but I am postoning looking into SWFLoader till final release as it has been moving target in the past.   HTH, Anatole   ----- Original Message ----- From: Renaun Erickson To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2006 1:51 PM Subject: [flexcoders] Using Loader to load multiple <mx:Application> SWF (Flex 1.5) I have read and re-read all the posts on breaking up a big application into smaller chunks either using the Loader method or createChild. createChild works well to delay creation of objects but the actually SWF size is not smaller as the classes are compiled into the application.  The Loader loads stuff on runtime but you get longer load times because of overlapping of common classes (each loaded SWF is a Flex app with the main component being the Application class). My question I have is in regards to the Loader and loading other <mx:Application> flex SWFs.  When I try to do this, I can not get the loader swf's to stay dyanmic 100% widht and height.  I want the loaded application SWF to fill up the container it was loaded in. It has to do with something when it reaches 500 width and 375 height, some defaults in the Application class.  I found some methods of hacking the width and height to work somewhat reasonably, but in the end it doesn't seem right. I know the Flex Exampler Explorer is a good example of loading different Application SWF into a container but none of them do 100% width/height. First, do people really use Loader to load multiple Flex mini-applications?  and if so how do you address the 100% width/height issue? -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
