Re: [flexcoders] Re: Loading an SWC into Flex 2 Beta 2
Nope. Understand that Flash Player 8 has a lot of bitmap API's that could work great for mapping applications; none of which were utilized in Yahoo Maps v1. Combined with Flash Player 8.5's ability to close an active, open connection, and suddenly you have the opportunity to make Yahoo Maps really good. So, my guess is based on what I've read via their job postings is they'll release a Flex 2 .SWC when Flex 2 is released. - Original Message - From: judah To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2006 9:57 PM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: Loading an SWC into Flex 2 Beta 2 It sounds like you are saying they are making a Flex 2 loader that will load Flash 7, 8 and Flex 1.5 swfs.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Loading an SWC into Flex 2 Beta 2
Embedding to the class works best, although, you can embed to properties
too. Classes, to me, are just easier and make more sense from a Flash
development standpoint.
package
{
import flash.display.MovieClip;
[Embed(source=my.swf, symbol=SomeSymbol]
public class MySomeSymbol extends MovieClip
{
public function MySomeSymbol()
{
}
}
}
import MySomeSymbol;
var a:MySomeSymbol = new MySomeSymbol();
addChild(a);

Hi, If I remembered correctly, Roger Gonzalez commented on this and it has to do with the virtual machine.?
