[Flashcoders] Passing Var value to loaded swf
I found this code: in the parent swf gameLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, onInit); function onInit(e:Event) { MovieClip(gameLoader.content).userId = 100; } In the loaded swf public class Game extends MovieClip { public var userId:int = 0; function Game() { addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,Init); } function Init(e:Event) { testText.text = String(userId); } I am not seeing how I can add the swf to the stage ( MovieClip(gameLoader.content).userId = 100;) How can I add it to the stage? ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
Re: [Flashcoders] Passing Var value to loaded swf
Loader is a DisplayObject. You can add Loader to the stage before telling it to load. You don't have to wait to addChild() the content of the Loader after it loads. You cannot dispatch bubbled events from your loaded swf through the Loader that loaded it. Keep that in mind. Doing parent.parent is generally a bad idea, since it requires that the swf being loaded have intimate detail of its parent. You wouldn't want to walk in on your parents having sex, but your parents might walk in on you masturbating (since you live in their house). Maybe I should rethink that metaphor... ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders

Maybe I should rethink that metaphor... Yes, please. Although in this case, wouldn't grandpa and granny be the ones having sex? Not sure if that makes the metaphor more or less disturbing, though.
