[Flashcoders] Naming a loaded swf
I am loading a swf via something like:
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
function startLoad(dfile:String)
{
var nRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(dfile);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Evenet.COMPLETE.onComplete);
loader.load(nRequest);
}
function onComplete(loadEvent:Event):void
{
addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
}
startLoad(some.swf);
I want to be able to name the swf that gets loaded... right now it is just
getting a random name like: instance77
How can I name it?

Re: [Flashcoders] Naming a loaded swf
Loader.content is a DisplayObject. DisplayObject have a .name property
function onComplete(loadEvent:Event):void {
var loadedContent = loadEvent.target.content;
loadedContent.name = MyName;
addChild(loadedContent);
}
Ktu
P.S. this is all right in as3 livedocs... Not that this is for you
specifically Ted, but more people need to learn how to read the
documentation.

Re: [Flashcoders] Naming a loaded swf
Cast it to a DisplayObject then give that a name?
var obj:DisplayObject = loadEvent.currentTarget as DisplayObject;
obj.name = my instance;

Re: [Flashcoders] Naming a loaded swf
There is no need to cast. The Loader.content property is defined as a
DisplayObject -
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/display/Loader.html#content
but I should have been more strictly typed.
function onComplete(loadEvent:Event):void {
var loadedContent:DisplayObject = loadEvent.target.content;
loadedContent.name = MyName;
addChild(loadedContent);
}

Re: [Flashcoders] Naming a loaded swf
It's possible that because the content property is the root class of the
loaded swf that you have to set the name property of your document class.
parent.swf
Loader.load(child.swf)
child.swf
this.name = MyName;
Maybe that is what you need to do. I'm going to run a test to find out

Re: [Flashcoders] Naming a loaded swf
Okay - can you store a reference to the loaded content that you can use
to access it later, either as an instance variable or in an array?
