RE: [BULK] Re: [Flashcoders] Unloading an SWF in Flash and controlling the loadedSWF

Thanks Paul,

I rewrote the code, so its easier to read:

var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(hotword.swf);
var loader:Loader = new Loader()

function displayHotword(evt:Event):void {
loader.load(request);
addChild(loader);
loader.x = 100;
loader.y = 150
}


btClassified.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, displayHotword);

My question is, how do I control the instance that is now on the stage?
Say I wanted to create a function that would change the opacity of that
movie or something like that. How do I reference that item. In the old
flash, I would create a movie clip that would hold the swf and reference
that instance name. With this new method, I have no instance name to
reference.   


Also, I can't seem to talk to the file.  If they click a button within
the file (the close button), I want the popup removed from the stage.
Right now, I am hiding (visibility = false) the clip and putting the
code to hide it within the loaded swf.  I am not communicating with the
clip from the parent file.

Any direction you could provide is very much appreciated! 

Thank you!
Susan

I think you want to listen for the event of the loader being loaded  then
use .content for it.

loader.addEventListener( Event.COMPLETE, iAmLoaded_Drunk );

function iAmLoaded_Drunk( e:Event ):void

{

 var lo:Loader = e.target as Loader;

 lo.content.alpha = 20; // what you actually loaded

}
