http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/as3preview/langref/flash/display/LoaderInfo.html If you load a v8 swf in v9 it becomes an AVM1Movie http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/as3preview/langref/flash/display/AVM1Movie.html You do not have full control over an AVM1Movie, control is very limited. If I'm not mistaken, you can't control its timeline. The reason the trace returns null, is because nothing is loaded yet. You'll need to use events to determine when content is loaded (see examples in the docs) regards, Muzak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Geurts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com> Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2006 10:31 PM Subject: [Flashcoders] AS 3.0 - Loader.load() a .swf and than control it I am a little confused with loading media into the loader object. I can load a swf in fine but than how do you control that swf's timline? I think that the swf gets loaded into a loader object, that has a display container? Im a little lost with the loader object concept. I assumend it would be loader.getChildAt(0) i saw loader.content in there but not sure what that does. ------- var introLoader:Loader = new Loader(); var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("intro.swf"); introLoader.load(request); trace(introLoader.content); --------------- Intro loads fine and starts playing Trace returns null Another question is can you load in a .swf that was compiled in 2.0 even if it has no AS in it and control its timeline? thanks for your time! -Dave _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
