[flexcoders] Load a Flash 9 SWF with loadBytes?

2007-06-06 Thread lar.drolet
Ok, not getting it, what small/stupid/simple concept am I missing? I want to load a Flash 9 SWF into Flex and then call a function within the SWF once loaded. I can do it with a SWFLoader but I would like to use loadBytes. http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" creationComplete="ini

Just curious if anyone has take the exam and passed it? I will not ask about the exam because I know you are not supposed to say a thing, I will only ask if you felt prepared? I read that the scoring was similar to the CF exam in that scoring over 80% you were awarded an "expert" status while pas

http://www.powersdk.com/ted/ I am only now getting into version 2.0.1 with mild success, feel as if I have not touched on all that can be done, far from it. Now I am really glad I signed up for that conference, be nice to see what Adobe has planned. Any guesses as to what more they could add?

Having a debate about a new project I am working on, going to use Cairngorm 2.1 this time and I am debating whether to use another project as a starter or to begin from scratch. I think there may be issues with the new project and possibly a larger compiled project because I am using Cairngorm 2.1

Playing with the whole Module loading thing and discovered a few things that seem odd, or maybe I just don't get Modules like I thought I did. I created an Application with a ModuleLoader including two listeners: Setup and Ready. Inside of my Module.swf (swf to load into the ModuleLoader) I have

I saw an example of applying a run-time CSS to an application and a thought came to mind; Can I apply a run-time CSS to a dynamic module and in essence override the application CSS? Would something like this be feasible (before I attempt it on my own and blow up with errors)? http://www.adobe.com
