[flexcoders] How do i embed a SWF in AS3?

2010-06-17 Thread Clark Stevenson 
Hey all,

The title says it all. I know how to embed a symbol from a SWF, but
everything i try when trying to embed a complete SWF fails:


[Embed(source=assets/some.swf, mimeType=application/octet-stream)]
private var MySWF:Class;


var movie:MovieClip = new MySwf() as MovieClip


This does not work which is slightly obvious as its a octet stream.


So now i use a loader and try loadByes(new MySWF() as ByteArray)


This tells me .swf contains invalid data.


So i have no idea how to embed a SWF. Can anyone give me some help?


Cheers,

Clark.

Remove the mimeType and use –keep to see the generated code.  You should be 
able to use what gets generated in order to just embed a SWF as bits.
