I suppose the cleanest way would be to set a property somewhere that
can be retrieved from the embedded movie. You can do that by mixing
the full SWF dialect with the simple dialect. The following example
sets _global.colorValue = 0x336699, which can then be read back from
the code in the FLA.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<movie version="8" width="600" height="400" framerate="12">
<background color="#000000"/>
<library>
<clip id="mainBanner" import="swfmill.swf"/>
<clip id="ImportedImage1" import="xml/assets/image1.jpg"/>
</library>
<frame>
<DoAction>
<actions>
<PushData>
<items>
<StackString value="_global"/>
</items>
</PushData>
<GetVariable/>
<PushData>
<items>
<StackString value="squareColor"/>
<StackInteger value="3368601"/>
</items>
</PushData>
<SetMember/>
<EndAction/>
</actions>
</DoAction>
<font id="georgia" import="fonts/Georgia"
glyphs="QAZXSWEDCVFRTGBNHYUJMKIOLPzaqqwsxcderfvbgtyhnmjuiklop.0123456789/"/>
<place id="mainBanner" x="0" y="0" depth="1" />
<place id="squarecolor" name="squarecolorxml" x="10" y="10" depth="2"/>
</frame>
</movie>
and change the code in the FLA to:
init1();
function init1()
{
var sqrcolor=new Color ("square");
sqrcolor.setRGB(_global.squareColor);
}
I tried the above and it worked for me.
The easiest way to find out the appropriate XML to set the variables
you want is to build a simple SWF with code like this on the first
frame:
_global.a = 1;
_global.b = 2;
// and so on
Then run swfmill swf2xml on the resulting SWF and look for the DoAction tag.
Hope this helps,
Dan.
