PROBLEM SOLVED: tileFront.source = new tile_Front(); I forgot that when Embedding the SWF, you store it as a Class. So to reinstatiate, you use the "new" keyword to get another instance of it.

Also, SWFLoader component cannot toggle "visible" correctly.

[flexcoders] Re: Replaying an Embedding SWF
I tried your first suggestion about reinstantiating the SWFLoader, but that doesn't seem to work. Here is my code in the init() function that gets called every time I want the SWF to replay: tileFront = new SWFLoader(); tileFront.source = tile_Front; //(tileFront.content as MovieClip).gotoAndPlay(1); The commented line generates a "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" error, even though I clearly define its source on the previous line. I looked into your ByteArray method but I couldn't find enough documentation online to show how to do it. Any tips? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, EECOLOR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > If you embed the whole swf file, it will probably of type MovieClip.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Replaying an Embedding SWF
I've been playing with this a bit. One thing you have to be sure of is the symbol that the EMBED command is referring to is the SYMBOL in the LIBRARY. Not the instance on the stage, and the symbol has to be visible to AS via your linkage. By embedding like this: [Embed(source="test_animation.swf",symbol="animation")] [Bindable] public var test:Class; You can then manipulate the timeline of the symbol like this: (testImage.content as MovieClip).gotoAndPlay(2); What I've been unable to get working correctly is getting the animation to stop once started, and I can't work on this more today.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Replaying an Embedding SWF
If there is more than one frame on the main timeline, you want to embed the whole SWF and not some symbol from it. Make sure the swfloader's .content is what you think it is.

[flexcoders] Re: Replaying an Embedding SWF
Yes, the movie clip has its own timeline. It's AS3. I thought the movie clip is a symbol and I can just embed it as the livedocs show: "...symbol='movieClipName')]". I guess since the MC is the first frame of the scene, and that's the only frame of the scene, gotoAndPlay(1) doesn't do anything because the MC's timeline is still at the end. So the issue now is changing the MC timeline. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Battershall, Jeff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Sounds like you need to dig a little deeper into the .fla file to find > out what script is executing when the button is pressed.

I didn't make it but I have the .FLA file. The first frame is just a movie clip with a button in it. When the button is pressed, the movie clip plays. Do I need to set the movie clips timeline to 1? How can I access this specific component? I tried to embed the symbol using... [Embed(source="assets/Tile_Flip_Front.swf", symbol="button_mc_break")] ...but I get a couple of errors. Is there a valid way to do this? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Battershall, Jeff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Do you know if the animation is in fact done via timeline?

RE: [flexcoders] Re: Replaying an Embedding SWF
Do you know if the animation is in fact done via timeline? If it is not, gotoAndPlay(1) isn't going to do you much good.

I got the AS: (tileFront.content as MovieClip).gotoAndPlay(1); However, the SWF is still not visible after it has already run. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "kenny14390" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I searched this topic and actually found your blog post about it.

[flexcoders] Re: Replaying an Embedding SWF
I searched this topic and actually found your blog post about it. It's still a bit unclear how to access the timeline. Do you get the content property of the SWFLoader instance, cast that to a MovieClip, then access the MC's root property? I cannot access the timeline in this way. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "peterent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Once the SWF has been loaded you can access its root timeline through the loader's content. > Having the root timeline will let you execute the function: gotoAndPlay(1) - making the SWF > move the playhead back to the first frame and start playing it again. > --peter > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "kenny14390" wrote: > > > > I've got a SWF file that is embedded in the Flex app. When the SWF is > > clicked, it does an animation and fades away.

[flexcoders] Re: Replaying an Embedding SWF
Once the SWF has been loaded you can access its root timeline through the loader's content. Having the root timeline will let you execute the function: gotoAndPlay(1) - making the SWF move the playhead back to the first frame and start playing it again. --peter --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "kenny14390" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've got a SWF file that is embedded in the Flex app. When the SWF is > clicked, it does an animation and fades away.
