Hi,
I have a swf which I load using a customized swf loader. The problem I'm
facing is after I load the swf, I want to tell one of its symbol to do an
action. But this does not seem to work . Any word on that?

hi,
are you programming in AS2 or AS3?

No you can't reference something that is not ther yet.
You need to add an eventlistener to imageloader to listen for the
loading to complete.
Inside that event listener you can call
imageLoader.content.testMovie.gotoAndStop(2)

Willem,.
Here is the full scenario. I have a swfLoading class which loads SWF for me.
Once the swf is loaded say a ball. I want to click on different colors and
change the color of the stripes on the ball.
Now, with what you said I can access things once they are loaded. The load
complete
I'm using AS3 here is a little more detail.
I'm loading an swf say test.swf which gets loaded in imageLoader , so I
can get its content by :
imageLoader.content
So if I wanted one of the movieClips inside it I would do this :
imageLoader.content.testMovie.gotoAndStop(2);
But when I do
Basically the myLoadedSwf is a child of a class called LoadingClass , if I
access myLoadedSwf.myBall.myStripeToReColor inside that class it works.
But when I make an instance of the class and myLoadedSwf is a child in that
class. I'm unable to reference the child
var testLoader:LoadingClass =
Given the code below that I found on the web - I have 2 questions:
1) How would I manipulate the swf (i.e. change it's placement on the stage)
2) How would I remove it?
TIA

import flash.net.URLRequest;
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.Event;

Finally got it solved. Created new movieClip referenced it to the exact
object I needed and made it public in the loader class. Created an event
listener to listen for the end of Complete Load and dispatch another event
which is caught by the outside class which changes the color :)
Thanks a lot
You would probably want to either set a flag, or store a variable in
your class / outside your event handler function that is null before the
content is loaded. In other functions that manipulate that clip, you
should test that the variable is not null before manipulating it.
Alternatively,
Another correction :
basically its not imageLoader.content.testMovie.gotoAndStop(2); but I want
to transform the color of testMovie which is an movieClip inside the loaded
SWF

Oké, now I understand,
In that case you have to make sure that the user can click only when
the ball is loaded.
I guess you have an eventListener somewhere that listens for users to
click.
When you trace for the ball in that eventlistener, do you get the
expected reference to it?
Maybe your
Hi,
More of a strange encounter that I would like to share / get some

stage property of a Sprite subclass in it's event handler for

I posted it on flexcoders accidently. Then had to update the question there
too. I apologize for that.
Hmm what if I do not want to reference it from inside that event
Listener but a another movie clip who would be later its parent?

Hi Fahim,
Can be anything.
To give you something to proceed we really need more information.
What are you doing exactly? (what is the code you use to tell the
symbol to do an action)
What would you expect to happen?
What is actually happening (error codes etc.)

Hi Fahim,
I'm afraid I don't understand your question. What are you trying to
accomplish?
afaik this is not a matter of 'wanting to'. You just have to wait to
address something until it is loaded.

Create a var outside of your functions to reference your loaded SWF:
var mc:MovieClip;
So that you can assign it to your SWF when loaded:
mc = loadEvent.target.content as MovieClip;
Then you can interact with it:
with(mc){
x = 100;
y = 200;
}
removeChild(mc);
etc.

You need to declare a variable in your class and assign the movieclip to it -
outside a function, ie
var myMC:MovieClip;
then you could change
addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
to
myMC = loadEvent.currentTarget.content;
addChild(myMC);
and manipulate it
myMC.x += 10;
remove it
Hi,
You need to make your nav function return the sprite it creates, so
change the signature to:
function nav(nname:String, nurl:String, myX:int, bgcolor:uint):Sprite
and return nsprite at the bottom.

Hi, Glen,
Sounds pretty wacky to me.
I'm going to ask a dumb question just to be sure...
In the code snippet, the event handler is inside the Sprite subclass itself?
In other words, I wanted to make sure that your reference to stage is
indeed the property of the event source, i.e. would this be
Hi,
The added to stage handler is inside the Sprite subclass:

addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE,

No, I caught that and made the appropriate substitution.

Sure. Function calls are valid expressions.

A lot of people don't like it, stylistically, but it will certainly work.
Generally I don't use ternary operators for anything other than assignments.

Hi,
If I create a new symbol apply a classic to it works fine and no Tween
symbol is created which is exactly what I want. At the same time I have a
movieclip with a couple of more movieClips in it on frame one. When I create
