[flexcoders] Connecting to swf dynamically in AS3

[patricklemiuex]

I'm trying simply, to load a series of seven small swfs (globes), i
don't want them to play automatically.  So,  I assume I have to
externalize and internalize play/stop methods, because I notice
SWFLoader doesn't have play or stop methods.


Sorry if I sound like a luddite in this area because this is the first
time I've ever tried to access a swf using the system manager.  

I noticed that the init event doesn't trigger, so I am probably doing
this wrong:

var swf:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader();
swf.x = x-7;
swf.id = globe+_swfIndex;
swf.width=30;
swf.height=30;
swf.y = y-7;
swf.scaleX=.5;
swf.scaleY=.5;
swf.filters = [new GlowFilter 
(0x4A88C6,1.0,8.0,8.0,2,3,false,false)];
swf.source = _globe;
swf.addEventListener(Event.INIT,onSWFCreation);
_myUIComponent.addChild(swf);
makeLabel(x,y,s,u);
_swfIndex++;


...

private function onSWFCreation(e:Event){
trace (target,e.currentTarget.id);
loadedSM = SystemManager(e.currentTarget.id.content);
}


Thanks,Patrick

Are the globes Flex 2.x Apps?  If they are Flash 8 swfs you may not get
INIT.
