I have produced a bunch of swf files. Positions and dimensions of interface elements in these swf files is inside stage resize event listeners functions... alone they work really fine.
Now I'm loading these swf files as external files in a 'hosting' file to make a sort of gallery of all my as3 attempts and works... Initially received some errors because they don't see the stage object anymore... it's simply 'null' also in flash debugger. I've commented out all the stage related calls and references just to make them appear without errors in the swf that loads them. Problem is that all of them react badly on being hosted inside another swf file... All the positioning and dimensioning code isn't there anymore because it's now commented out. I must obviously found a way to 'reactivate' the positioning and dimensioning code... all this considering that also the file that is loading them use dynamic positioning and resizing of his elements... I thought it was possible to change all the stage resize event references to something like root resize event references but all I've tried doesn't work... (there is no documentation around speaking of a resize event for root so it was just an 'act of desperation') ^_^ Is it possible that all my work is just gone like that... :-( Is there a way to get those stage listeners function to work again without rewriting them all in the new containing swf? (it'll be a nightmare, change all references, change all dimensioning and positioning code because they are inside another swf). The MovieClip that holds the external files inside the hosting file creates a bounding box with dimensions matching the original width and height dimensions of the external loaded swf file. This MovieClip is also dynamically resized if the hosting stage becomes not wide and tall enough to visualize the currently loaded swf entirely. So, the MovieClip hosting the loaded files it's acting in a manner similar to the original stage of the surrently loaded swf. ...this was done to manage the dynamic positioning of some loaded swf that have fixed dimensions. But (don't know) maybe someone could see this useful to help me in managing the "elastic loaded swfs" issue. Any suggestion??? Thanks giovanna changing the behaviour of the stage listeners in the big containing swf based on every single file loaded seems a little bit ugly... ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
