hey,
http://swfmill.org/trac/ticket/7 (formerly #13, reported by Quentin <[EMAIL
PROTECTED]>) sez:
> Here how is built the SWF :
>
> - root
> - > MovieClip "anim"
> - > MovieClip "tfHolder"
> - - > Dynamic textfield with no instance name
>
> The textfield has his "Variable" porperty filled with 'anim.myVar' and the
'tfHolder' has these actionscript line codes :
>
> function onEnterFrame() {
> myVar=random(500);
> }
>
> When compiling via the Flash IDE, the textfield is updated frequently, but
when placing the SWF with swfmill, the field remains blank...
>
> This is only a "variable targeting" problem, because when replacing
'anim.myVar' with '_parent.anim.myVar' in the "Variable" property of the
textfield, it runs well with both pieces of software (the Flash IDE and
swfmill)... But to be fully compatible, this should behave identically !
i'm not sure i fully understand the problem- but as far as i understand, it
comes from the fact that importing an SWF with swfmill wraps that into another
movieclip hierarchy, breaking the "anim.myVar" reference. can this be true? i
don't know much about variable references, but flash looks up anim in _root,
no? thus, as there is an additional level of clips, it breaks.
if this is so- it wont be fixed. neither do i aim for "full compatibility" to
the flash IDE, nor is the process the same-- or is the SWF imported into the
IDE?
if i'm mistaken, please elaborate.
barring more details, i'll close the ticket as "wontfix".
