OK, I've found some old posts now that I've been pointed that
direction.
I'm still struggling, though, in one of your old posts you mention
doing something along the following:
[Embed("SimpleCS3.swf")]
public var simpleCS3:Class;
and an instance of it called `foo':
public var foo:DisplayObject;
private function makeOne():void
{
foo = new simpleCS3();
}
The main class of that swf will end up in `bar' if you do this:
var bar:MovieClip =
Loader(DisplayObjectContainer(foo).getChildAt(0)).content;
SO, back to my application:
I'm using a SWFLoader with an id of loadedSWF, and the source set to
the Embeded Class. on CreationComplete, I bind to the appropraite
Click events inside the SWF, and all works well.
Then inside the click event, I want to access properties on the
embedded SWF.
Now I try something similar to your sample I just found, but I get all
sorts of casting errors, I've tried:
var bar:MovieClip = DisplayObjectContainer(loadedSWF.content).content
as MovieClip;
and
var bar:MovieClip =
Loader(DisplayObjectContainer(loadedSWF.content)).content as MovieClip;
and
var bar:MovieClip = DisplayObjectContainer(loadedSWF.content) as
MovieClip;
I assume that once I get the appriopriate MovieClitp, my call to the
property to get at the ARray will be as simple as movieClip.propertyname?
Thanks,
