lingo-l Dynamically duplicating SWF in Director
Hi everybody. I have a .swf clip that I want to be able to dynamically add to my director scene. I want to add as many as my .xml config specifies. Is this possible? If so how would this be done?

RE: lingo-l Dynamically duplicating SWF in Director
Bit of background which I should have mentioned. My XML file contains a list of buttons which I want to create on the stage. Each button (where button=flash object!) will call a specific callback and perform some function. Each button is actually some text and 2 inner buttons, the button name and back/forward Ie colour width Etc... I was hoping I could just create my flash buttons using newObject or something then I could position them on the stage somewhere. But I don't think this is possible. Do I have to draw them manually using lingo image stuff? -Original Message- From: Alan Skinner Sent: 18 January 2006 14:10 To: Lingo programming discussion list Subject: lingo-l Dynamically duplicating SWF in Director Hi everybody.

Re: lingo-l Dynamically duplicating SWF in Director
hi alan, you can duplicate an existing flash member either with oldFlashMem.duplicate(newMemPosition) or with new(#flash, member(newMemPosition, newMemCastlibNameOrNum) ).media = oldFlashMem.media cheers, valentin Alan Skinner wrote: I think I found it tMember = new(#flash, castLib LibName) -Original Message- From: Alan Skinner Sent: 18 January 2006 14:18 To: Lingo programming discussion list Subject: RE: lingo-l Dynamically duplicating SWF in Director Bit of background which I should have mentioned.

RE: lingo-l Dynamically duplicating SWF in Director
It seems I have to have some sprites on the stage already I then download the swf, create a dynamic member and then I can switch these sprites members to the new dynamic one, bit sucky I think! Ive previously used flash and attachMovie to fully dynamically attach the new sprite to the stage. I take it that's not possible in director and I must use these *PUPPET* sprites?

Ive previously used flash and attachMovie to fully dynamically attach the new sprite to the stage. I take it that's not possible in director and I must use these *PUPPET* sprites? Yup, mostly correct. In Director there is the legacy puppetSprite function, but in MX 2004 we added makeScriptedSprite as a sprite channel object method, both doing the same thing: dynamically creating a new sprite on stage.
