RE: [flexcoders] Re: Load swc instead of swf
Also, when you use the work standalone, what do you mean? Unless you are using Zinc, or apollo, or some other non-browser host, your swf will not be able to access any file on the client. However, I seem to recall reading that you can access a local file via its url if you know the fully qualified file url. I haven't tested this though, and it may be some Flexbuilder magic that permits it.

In theory, you could write an unzip implementation in Actionscript, load a SWC as raw data, decompress it, extract its bits, and then send those bits around to AS or JS or whatever, but realistically, you're not going to do that. :-) -rg From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ssundke Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2006 1:47 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Load swc instead of swf Hi I was using a .swf file generated wrappers to show a flash file on the web. Due to some recent changes, I wanted to explore changing this to a .swc file since I need some resources (help files, etc) and they are better bundled in the swc file. Do html wrappers work with swc? I was able to generate the swc file (with a library.swf and catalog.xml) but done know how to use it with the wrapper (the .js files seem to use the .swf files) What am i missing? - Saba
