Re: [Flashcoders] as3 Loader.content.name error
If you want to call addChild on the content then you can simply do:
addChild(event.target.content)
and that will throw your content on the stage. I'm not sure why it is not
possible to name that new content. I've tried playing around with this
myself and can't figure out how once you've loaded the content you can
access that content as a class. I've loaded up swfs and can reference
classes within the swf no problem and create instances of those classes
but if I try to get a class definition for the content all I can get is
MovieClip and I can't figure out how to create new instances of the that
loaded content without running another loader
Not sure if that helps you any or not.

loader.load(request);
private function loaderInit(event:Event):void{

var page:Page = event.target.content;
page.name = test;

That code throws this error but I cant understand why.

RE: [Flashcoders] as3 Loader.content.name error
I want to rename the content because I need to be able to access it later using
getChildByName(test);
But since its not possible, I think I'll have to make my classes dynamic and do
this instead :
private function loaderInit(event:Event):void{
event.target.removeEventListener(Event.INIT, loaderInit);
this[test] = event.target.content;
addChild( this[test] );
}

RE: [Flashcoders] as3 Loader.content.name error
Couldn't you just set a variable and pass that to whichever class/method
needs to access the child by name?

Re: [Flashcoders] as3 Loader.content.name error
Another workaround that I've been using is to use the loading swf as
wrapper for the movieClip I ultimately want to display on the stage.
Create the content you want to use as movieClip symbol in your swf, export
for actionscript, no need to put it on the stage, and give it a class
name. Now you can load the wrapper swf. As soon as you do all the classes
in that wrapper will be available throughout your project and you can
access them by name. Untested e-mail code:
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, loaderInit);
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pageSource);
loader.load(request);
private function loaderInit(event:Event):void{
var myClass:Class = getDefinitionByName(myClassInMySwf) as Class;
var newClip:MovieClip = new myClass();
newClip.name = test;
addChild(newClip);
}
This way you can create a library of swfs that you can load in and use as
required. If you make two libraries with the class internally named the
same then you can change up your app just by loading in a different
library swf.
