[flexcoders] RE: Unloading/stopping sounds from SWFLoader .swf
Ah crap. To add on to this, this seems to be a bug that was only fixed
with the Flash 10 player: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-14379
- I have to target Flash 9. Is this really still an outstanding bug
with Flex 3 and Flash 9? That really bites.

Subject: Unloading/stopping sounds from SWFLoader .swf
I'm having a problem getting sounds from .swfs (both AVM1 and AVM2) to
stop playing. I am adding these .swfs (loaded with SWFLoader) onto a
Canvas in my Flex application. The instance of my SWFLoader is
_swfLoader which I add as a child to the _demoCanvas Canvas. Here is
what I have tried (my lame attempt at garbage collection):
private function hideScreenAnimation():void
{
_swfLoader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSwfLoaded);
_swfLoader.removeEventListener(Event.UNLOAD, onSwfUnload);
_swfLoader = null;
removeChild(_demoCanvas);
_demoCanvas = null;
SoundMixer.stopAll();
}
I can't seem to locate any unload() method for SWFLoader instances or
SWFLoader.content. SoundMixer.stopAll() seems to have no effect.
Again, these are both AVM1 and AVM2 .swfs which contain sounds. I don't
have any control over the AVM1 files, they are produced by someone else
using another app (Captivate and Camtasia). The AVM2 .swf is just a
simple .swf I made with Flash CS3 and contains a sound on the timeline.
Thanks, any help is appreciated. I've researched this enough with Google
and none of the suggestions I've found seem to work.

Without cooperation from the loaded SWF, there is no way to stop audio from
outside that swf on FP9

[flexcoders] Re: Unloading/stopping sounds from SWFLoader .swf
Thanks Alex. That's too bad. On this project, we're stuck then with no support
for external .swfs that have sound since we're using FP9. Bummer.
I wonder if we could use LocalConnection to communicate with the AVM1 Captivate
or Camtasia files to stop the sound. Possible in theory?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Unloading/stopping sounds from SWFLoader .swf
Oh sure, that's what I mean by cooperation. Your SWF has to request the other
SWF to stop.
