Image is a subclass of SWFLoader. Thus SWFLoader is probably more lightweight than Image. Both import JPEG, PNG, GIF, and SWF. The only real difference is that Image implements IDataRenderer<../core/IDataRenderer.html>, IDropInListItemRenderer <listClasses/IDropInListItemRenderer.html>, IListItemRenderer. <listClasses/IListItemRenderer.html>
See the API docs for more details. - Dan On 2/8/07, Mike Anderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello All, If I want to bring in an external SWF File, and this SWF File doesn't contain anything else other than pure Vector Information making up a map graphic, is there a real need to use SWFLoader? I mean, the true purpose of using SWFLoader to bring in SWF Files, is to gain access to any advanced aspects of the SWF - like Named Assets, Functions, the PlayHead in cases of a multi-framed SWF, etc. If this is the only reason, then using the <SWFLoader> would be overkill to bring in something that the <Image> could easily take care of correct? Thanks in advance for your help, Mike
