Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 root

Test the parent to see if it equals the stage maybe?

if(this.parent == this.stage)

stage is only available after adding the DisplayObject to the display list
etc

I'm trying to do the same thing in AS3. Every displayObject container has
a root property but, it stops at the swf level. So root of the loaded swf is
equal to the actual swf, not the container. So how can I know if the swf is
tested by itself in the IDE or it is loaded by the container?

This one works for me.

if (loaderInfo.url == loaderInfo.loaderURL)
{
// This is the main SWF.
}

Does _lockroot still apply to AS3?

Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 root

2007-06-19 Thread Muzak 
Another way would be to check if there's a parentDomain (using loaderInfo).
It's a bit more complicated though (well, just more code)..

import flash.system.ApplicationDomain;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import flash.events.Event;

function initHandler(e:Event):void {
 trace(Application ::: initHandler);
 trace((e.currentTarget as LoaderInfo).applicationDomain.parentDomain);
}
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(flash.events.Event.INIT, initHandler);


When not loaded into another swf will return null, otherwise returns an 
ApplicationDomain instance

regards,
Muzak
