Hi guys, I'm new to swfmill. I'm trying to convert and embed the following xml file:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=Jf78mF8b Whose compiled swf can be fetched here: http://www.2shared.com/document/SjkmJwKO/mc_load.html The problem is that I can't get a *normal* behaviour out of it, where *normal* means I either embed the clip and call `attachmovie' within my actionscript, or embed it, insert a `place' tag after my `</frame>' description tag and then just use it. In both cases, I would expect the clip not to be visible by default, but whatever I do, it gets loaded and shown on the movie, or just doesn't get loaded at all, as it's the case when I remove the `placeobject2' tag I had to insert at the end of the above's xml. I know I could just set it's `_visible' attribute to false at the begining of my movie, but I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong, as I could read even within swfmill docs, a clip loaded should, by default, not be shown. My second question relates to global visibility of symbols within actionscript. Say this same one we're talking about. If I debug the movie's hierarchy once it's loaded, I always get someting like: my_mc my_mc.instance2 my_mc.instance5 Where `instance2' usually refers to the rounded square, and `instance5' to the bars. So, Is it possible to give movieclip elements a name I can use from within actionscript? I've been playing with the `export' tag with this purpose, but nothing I do results in the given name being shown within the movie's hierarchy. As a result, I always have to call my hierarchy debugging function to find out how to call inner clip elements, and then try one by one until I know I'm finally managing the intended one. Thanks for any hints, Regards, _______________________________________________ swfmill mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/swfmill_osflash.org
