Re: [flexcoders] How do you load library symbols without embedding via SWFLoader?
Just to follow up for anyone else trying this, I was able to reference things via SWFLoader dynamically. I had to drag the movie clip to the stage and give it an instance name ball_instance then in Flex I did swfLoader.content.root[ball_instance][label_txt].text=hello dynamic world!; I didnt have any success with getDefinitionByName with AS3Preview published swfs. Tried ball_mc ball_instance ball_document_classname and some combinations of pathing to those swfLoader.content.root.ball_mc etc On 1/4/07, Rick Schmitty [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks Roger, I was exporting as an AS3 SWF, I used these options on the symbol, is this correct?

Hi all, trying to load some assets from a Flash AS3Preview project but I can't figure out how to specify the symbol when loading dynamically Here's the flex example ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml; mx:Script ![CDATA[ [Bindable] [Embed(source=/ball.swf, symbol=ball_mc)] public var swf:Class; public function debug():void { trace(set break point here and inspect swfLoader.content vs swfLoaderEmbed); swfLoaderEmbed.content[label_txt].text=Hello World!; } ]] /mx:Script mx:SWFLoader id=swfLoader source=ball.swf/ mx:SWFLoader id=swfLoaderEmbed source={swf}/ mx:Button label=click click=debug()/ /mx:Application Ball.swf is a simple ball contained in ball_mc in the library, and it has a text field in that object of the name label_txt How do I work in the symbol=xxx aspect of the embed into the SWFLoader that is loading dynamically? This library could potentially be very large and I'd rather not embed the whole thing up front

Symbols don't exist in AS3, there are only classes. If you exported the SWF from Flash as an AS3 SWF, you should be able to use getDefinitionByName to find the class instance in the dynamically loaded SWF.
