Loading swfs into a container

programming flash
1

I am trying to load various swf into one container (instancename:holder).

In As2 i used to declare a variable, change its properties via buttons and load the swf using the MovieLoaderClass into the holder clip.

what is cool about this is the fact that when you load a different movie or a website category, firstly the exisiting movie exits and then the new is loaded which leads to smooth transitions.

i used the MovieLoaderClass heavily which doesn’t work in AS3.

loading a swf in AS3 is straight forward but cannot seem to get my head around loading swf via a variable

Here’s a function I did this weekend to load an external swf. If you want to load another one simply call the function again with another url.


		public function cargar_archivo(url:String,scope:Object):void{
			var loader:Loader = new Loader();
			var archivo:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
			
			loader.load(archivo);
			loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, cargado);
			
			function cargado(evento:Event):void{
				setTimeout(init_archivo,2000,evento.target.content);
				evento.target.content.alpha = 0;
				evento.target.content.stop();
				scope.addChild(evento.target.content);				
			}

		}
