If you're using AS3/Player9 from CS3, you now have the option of using the content as classes instead of a SWF. The Flash Integration Kit has everything you need to use the CS3 content as classes.
If you go with a SWF, in theory any top level function is accessible from the swfloader's .content property ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of patricklemiuex Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 1:47 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Connecting to swf dynamically in AS3 Ah, that was weird, by default it was publishing a flash 8 movie. It's been a while since I've been inside Flash (been using flex until cs3 cameout :) Are there any examples of how to access methods in Flash from Flex and best practices in creating new flash classes?
