Re: [Flashcoders] How to add a DisplayObject into a container without using addChild() method.

Ugh, then you go and use an if statement without brackets, and on the same line to boot! I for one, would not want to maintain your code. This is in jest of course. I am not going to say doing things "shorthand" is wrong, but there are some very valid merits to not doing the "shorthand" methods.

Using Flash CS3 pro, trying to load a Flex based swf into a non-Flex swf and pass a query string to the Flex application. Simple enough in theory, using a Loader just point at the file and load.

One way to do this is to compile the class into a swf that you load. Essentially you are creating modules or dlls. You just have to handle loading them yourself. I have been using the technique for a while on a project and it works great. Steve On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 12:13 AM, Jiri Heitlager < [E

Re: [Flashcoders] sizing an arbitrary loaded swf

No, this is not easy. Unfortunately the data that defines the stage size is not directly available in AS code. I believe it is only in the swf file's header, so you would actually have to do a lot of work to figure out what size the swf should be masked at. Steve On Thu, Oct 2, 2008 at 7:36 AM, An
