[flexcoders] Catching Events from a Flex 2 App in a SWFLoader

Pete Wed, 04 Oct 2006 04:36:22 -0700

Hi there,

I'm trying to catch an event from a Flex 2 App that is embedded in my app. I'm using a SWFLoader to embed the swf file and I'm using SystemManager to communicate back and forth.. Except the communicate is one way at the moment! If anyone has any suggestions, that'd be great!

Thanks, Pete

Here's the code:

// Parent App

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Canvas
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"

height="100%"

width="100%">

<mx:Script>

<![CDATA[

        import mx.managers.SystemManager;

        [Bindable] public var quizSM:SystemManager;

        private function completeHandler():void {
            mx.controls.Alert.show('huzzah!');
        }

        private function initNestedQuiz():void {
            quizSM = SystemManager(quizLoader.content);
            quizSM.application.addEventListener("complete", completeHandler);    // this code is not working!
        }

]]>

</mx:Script>
<mx:SWFLoader id="quizLoader" width="100%" height="100%" source="/Quiz/QuizContainer.swf"/>
</mx:Canvas>

// Nested App

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
    <mx:Metadata>
        [Event(name="complete", type="flash.events.Event")]
    </mx:Metadata>
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[

             import mx.controls.Alert;

             private function quizComplete(event:Event):void {
                 Alert.show('Completed in Quiz');
                 var event:Event = new Event("complete");
                 this.dispatchEvent(event);
             }

        ]]>

</mx:Application>
