[Flashcoders] Constructors in AS2 SWFs not being called when loaded by AS3

2007-04-07 Thread Michael Mudge 
I've got an AS 2.0 (Flash 8) SWF that creates a class, and traces a
property on that class... Something like this:

foo = new Thingy();
trace(foo.test);

All the class does is initialize that property; something like this:
class Thingy {
  public var test:String;
  public function Thingy() {
test = hello;
  }
}

This is pretty basic stuff -- and it works as expected.  When run, it
simply traces hello.  I then create an AS3 / Flash 9 app that loads
the aforementioned SWF... Something like this:

As2thing = new Loader();
addChild(As2thing);
As2thing.load(new URLRequest(as2thing.swf));

Then suddenly, as2thing.swf doesn't quite behave the same; the Thingy's
constructor doesn't get called -- it traces undefined instead.  Any
idea why?

Hello :)

In the FP9 you can find 2 virtual machines, one for the AS3 and one for the
AS1/2 .. you can use AS1/2 or AS3 code but not the AS3 and the AS1/2 in the
same time :)

If you want communicate between your SWFs running in AVM1 and AVM2.. you
must use the LocalConnection class :)

a french article about this :

You can too read the article about the ApplicationDomain :

EKA+ :)

Is there any reason why you aren't porting over the Thingy class from AS2 to
AS3? It might be easier to rewrite the class using AS3.
