I have an AS3 gallery that I have created that has a Document Class that reads in XML and populates a series of variables. It works fine when publishing out of Flash. When I embed the .swf into an HTML file and publish (local playback as well as from a web server), it ceases to work.
Here is what is happening in the Document Class and why this is weird: A series of XML classes bring in information and populate variables. Once the xml is loaded and parsed, a function is called in the Document Class called “infoLoaded”. The infoLoaded function is on the main timeline in Flash CS3 and everything inside the “infoLoaded” function is not coming up in the HTML embedded file, but does come up when published out of Flash.
The Document Class is as follows:
Thanks
