I think I’m finally getting the Runtime Shared Object library down. What I can’t seem to be able to do with it yet is load the objects with Actionscript.
The scenario (names modified for simplicity). I have a shared library SWF called SharedObjects.swf. In this I have a symbol named lrg_symbol with a class assignment of as.lrg_symbol. I right click, set linkage to “Export for runtime sharing” and “Export in first frame”. In the URL I set SharedObjects.swf. I save, compile and close this.
I then open my main.swf file and proceed to File\Import\Open External Library. Select my SharedObjects.fla and open the library from this file. I drag a copy into my Library and check the linkage. It appears to be pulling this object fromt he correct location. Now, when I open my code and try to _mc.attachMovie(‘lrg_symbol’, etc…) it doesn’t load. I pulled up the bandwidth profiler and see that the shared library is still loading in the background (with reduced bandwidth settings.)
So I check into preloading the SharedObjects.swf, but I feel this is only going to get me in the same boat as I was before, where I load in the SharedObjects.swf and lose all access to the main.swf. Has anyone dealt with this? How can I preload the SWF, and attach a symbol in that shared swf to my main.swf through code?
