Ok so here’s the problem, I have a simple fluid layout that references the stage in its code. When I load this into my movie using the loader…I made sure that the reference to the stage is still working, but the problem is I want it to reference the container movieclip’s width and height and not the actual movie’s stage. I was under the impression that movieclips have their own stage, so I thought if I loaded the fluid external swf into the movieclip it would use the movieclip’s stage. Changing the external swf is not an option.
here’s the basic code that loads that external swf:
var gallery_w:Number = 600;
var gallery_h:Number = 300;
var imgLoad:Loader = new Loader();
var imgURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“test.swf”);
imgLoad.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, loadingIMG);
imgLoad.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadedIMG);
imgLoad.width = gallery_w;
imgLoad.height = gallery_h;
var myMovie:cont = new cont();
addChild(myMovie);
myMovie.width = gallery_w;
myMovie.height = gallery_h;
myMovie.addChild(imgLoad);
imgLoad.load(imgURL);
function loadingIMG(a:ProgressEvent):void
{
//trace(a.bytesLoaded/a.bytesTotal*100);
}
function loadedIMG(a:Event):void
{
imgLoad.content.width = gallery_w;
imgLoad.content.height = gallery_h;
myMovie.addChild(imgLoad.content);
myMovie.x = 100;
myMovie.y = 100;
addChild(myMovie);
}
i know theres a lot of extra codes to set widths and heights but i was trying to see if it made a difference whether i applied the widths and height to the movie container the loader or even the loader content…no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated
