Re: [flexcoders] Image versus SWFLoader for loading external SWF Files

2007-02-09 Thread Daniel Freiman

Image is a subclass of SWFLoader.  Thus SWFLoader is probably more
lightweight than Image.  Both import JPEG, PNG, GIF, and SWF.  The only real
difference is that Image implements IDataRenderer../core/IDataRenderer.html,
IDropInListItemRenderer listClasses/IDropInListItemRenderer.html,
IListItemRenderer. listClasses/IListItemRenderer.html

See the API docs for more details.

  Hello All,

If I want to bring in an external SWF File, and this SWF File doesn't
contain anything else other than pure Vector Information making up a map
graphic, is there a real need to use SWFLoader?

I mean, the true purpose of using SWFLoader to bring in SWF Files, is to
gain access to any advanced aspects of the SWF - like Named Assets,
Functions, the PlayHead in cases of a multi-framed SWF, etc.

If this is the only reason, then using the SWFLoader would be overkill
to bring in something that the Image could easily take care of
correct?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Mike
