I would be interested in any workaround as well. I hit the same problem as you... a shell loading multiple third party applications.
What I ended up doing was asking developers to hang a bridging object off their application which contains methods such as start, terminate, suspend etc. For instance when the shell is stopping an application it calls subApp['bridge'].terminate(). The terminate() method either contains code to stop sounds, movies etc or acts as a facade to other objects in the subapp that perform the action. The bridge object implements an interface to enforce the method signature. This works well but the cavaet is that the developer must insert the bridge object to begin with. I haven't done this but you could experiment with getting your shell to set a bridge object into the sub app directly which would run through some stock standard termination code. In my case I wanted developers to code their own methods. Angus On 29 Mar 2007 15:34:43 -0700, Rod Perkins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
For my AS3 application I am loading other swf files to be displayed in an area on the stage of my application. The swfs are not mine, meaning I don;t know their contents, but I want to host them within my application. Once loaded, AS3 holds these swfs in a avm1movie object (which from the documentation means they represent AVM1 movie clips, which use ActionScript 1.0 or 2.0). The avm1movie class does not allow control over the movie beyond placement on the screen. One of the problems I have is that some of the swf's contain sound which I do not want played. I would like to be able to mute their sound. Also, once I unload the swf, I would like the sound to stop. Which doesn't seem to happen if the sound snippet is already playing - it seems to play to completion. Is there a workaround to at least get the sound transform for the avm1movie and be able to mute the sound? Thanks, Rod
