Re: [flexcoders] Re: Flex Beta 2 - Loader not loading SWF 100%

Mon, 27 Mar 2006 07:37:07 -0800

Yes I extend the loader to create this new component. I had the same problem you have. The document is undefined on complete event, but a fill seconds after they appear so a put a interval to manipulate the content. I don't like this solution but I'll try a better one. If you have some idea, please let me know....
 
Tks...

I take it 'AppLoader' is a custom component you created by extending
the Loader component? How did you endup handeling the 'unloading' of
an app before loading a second one?

How did you handel a notification from the inner app that it was
complete and that the shell app could talk to it.

Thanks
