Hi. And thank you. :) I'll have a closer look at this tomorrow.. but.. I'm not sure what the purpose of it is. At first glance it just seems to allow access to the properties of the loaded SWF file, which I already have. It's the timing of animation event, the updating of the swf's properties, and the swf visually rendering that I'm having a problem with.
Basically I want to have access to it's new hight/width before it visually renders, so that I can reposition it. Kinda doubting that's possible though. -[a]- -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Matt Muller Sent: January 10, 2009 02:43 To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Height and Width of a loaded SWF before it visuallyrenders? http://www.senocular.com/flash/actionscript.php?file=ActionScript_3.0/com/se nocular/utils/SWFReader.as On Sat, Jan 10, 2009 at 5:03 PM, Andrew Murphy <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all. > > > > I'm loading several .swf files into another .swf, to produce a horizontal > bar of clickable "icons".
