Re: [Flashcoders] using graphics from flash 8 with flex 2 sdk

Gregory, The trouble with importing/using/loading Flash 8 SWFs into an AS3-powered app is that Flash 8 uses the old flash runtime engine (AVM1) and your AS3 app uses the new engine (AVM2) and the two don't talk to each other well. If you directly embed a Flash 8 SWF like so:

Ah I see. Oddly I don't actually get that border when dragging the employees app, which OS are you using? ... You could always ensure that your main NativeWindow is always maximised and other 'windows' inside are just MovieClips, but that's a bit hacky -Original Message- From: [EMAIL

RE: [Flashcoders] Dispatch or Call?

Well, it may seem like extra work, but by tying in directly to the other classes, you're tightly coupling your framework, which is not good practice. It's best to have classes not have to know about other classes, so your framework is loosely coupled, which often means writing a lot of your own

Well good post, I guess I just mean in general, you should think of loosely coupling where you can, and tightly coupling where appropriate. I too have tight coupling dependancies in my applications, it' s hard to get around it. Jason Merrill Bank of America GTO LLD Solutions Design

Hi, I have managed to access movie clips inside an embedded symbol, but purely to manipulate them as movieclips. To avoid confusion - I have no code inside the SWF file I am embedding, I am merely using Flash 8 IDE to author graphical symbols animations which I embed individually.

i believe you can remove children from the displayList without destroying them... which is better than using alpha or visible because alpha and visibility are still on the as2 display list eventhough you cant see em. On Jan 18, 2008 5:39 PM, Helmut Granda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was
