Remote Shared Library.
Imagine Main.swf loading Sub.swf.
Sub.swf consists of Library Symbol exported for AS and for runtime sharing!
Then in Main.swf Symbols from Sub.swf can be attached as if they were
directly in Main.swf.

which btw. means Actionscript 2.0 (AS2)
Thank you for the pointer, but reading that article doesn't
help me much. For example, I don't understand if the resulting
SWF from that syntax is expected to contain EXPORT tags or not.

The code on my old blog works for content published with Flash
authoring. However, it works because Flash inserts the export tags in
the swf automatically. If you have a swf that has a working
attachMovie, but no export tags, then it must be attaching the symbol
from another swf. An RSL perhaps?

This way you can attach classes that don't have a library symbol but
extend MovieClip.
These classes can for example have visual content using the drawing API.

I've found a few movies out there using attachMovie()
with symbol names which are NOT exported in the SWF
movie containing the call.
Are the SWF bogus (containing useless actionscript)
or is there another interpretation of attachMovie()

It has a variable declared in the first frame - size.
I want to instantiate the symbol and then read the variable value.

You may have problems forcing one timeline without a sound on to sync

Here is a suggested workaround for the separate scenes problem:
Save multiple copies of your original animation - one copy for each

Hi Chris,
Is there some limitation to attachMovie that I'm missing? Any guesses,

Yes. In AS2, you can't attach a symbol from one .SWF's library into

So if a parent loads a child, none of the clips in the child's library

Hi Chris,
I can't follow your code snippets too well, but I try to guess your mistake:
You can only attach MovieClips/Symbols with attachMovie, that are
available (exported for AS) within the container SWF.

Hi,
from what I've experienced before, the assets are only available to

Eg.

If you load assets into asset_mc, some_clip cannot access it, ie,
_root.some_clip.attachMovie(asset...) won't work, neither will
_root.attachMovie(...).

Hi,
You can attach en init object to your clip X like this :
init_obj = new Object();
init_obj.onEnterFrame = function
the initial 0,0 point for any clip, stage, button, etc .. is at the top
left corner. It's allways best to position your instances that way as
well, for it will be easier later on to manipulate it's positioning.
