Mark, I have had success making calls to my AS3 SWFs compiled in Flash using the Flash Professional 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview<http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flash9as3preview/> .
The "Flash Professional 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview" has been public for over 8 months. I say shame on Adobe for publishing nothing on how to integrate Flash authored AS3 SWFs into Flex 2 apps. Nothing. But huge thanks to Jesse Warden. If you have not already, please review the following 2 posts by Jesse on the topic. Note: the first link includes downloadable code. It has been a few weeks since I was in either Jesse or my code. I do recall that in the first article Jesse documented a few requirements that I had not seen elsewhere and likely never would have guessed.

Of course, please also post back if you do succeed in getting your Flash authored AS3 SWFs working in Flex 2. hth, g On 3/3/07, Mark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm trying to load a flash 9 SWF into Flex with some luck. I can get it in there with SWFLoader but now how can I use something from the Flash Library… or can I? I get this error when I run the code below "ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Radar is not defined." But when I "Dismiss All" then click the button in the app it will move the radar movieClip that sits on the Flash Stage. I'm confused as to what this error is. For the library item - If it was being done in Flash, I'd use attachMovie () like: var cPoint:MovieClip = circle.attachMovie(pointer, 'point' + counter, 0 + counter, {_x:centerX + x, _y:centerY + y, date:cDate}); which would place the item on the stage as many times as I need it depending on the number of nodes from my XML. Is there a way to do this in Flex using my loaded SWF? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="init(event)"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import flash.events.*; import flash.net.URLRequest; import mx.controls.SWFLoader; import mx.utils.ObjectUtil; [Bindable] private var loaded:Boolean = false; private var swfContent:MovieClip; private var myLoader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader(); private function init(e:Event):void{ myLoader.showBusyCursor = true; myLoader.addEventListener (Event.INIT,loadHandler); this.addChild(myLoader); myLoader.y = 25; myLoader.x = 25; myLoader.load("Flash/radarFlexNoScript.swf"); } private function loadHandler(e:Event):void{ loaded = true; swfContent = e.target.content; } private function setRadar ():void { //swfContent.getChildByName('radar').x = 0; swfContent.radar.y += 20; //swfContent.addChild('myPoint'); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Button click="setRadar()" label="Set Something" /> </mx:Application>
