hello again it’s clear to all of you that forums like this one(kirupa being my world’s favorite flash forum of the universe) are my only means of communicating with other flashers.
the MovieClipLoader:
When you loadClip using this thing, your target_mc does of course load what you want and it works great, HOWEVER–> once your .swf is loaded, do you know that you cannot target it? example:
you’re loading monkey.swf that has this in it:
monkey=function(){
trace("monkeys are smart");
}
So, you load that into holder_mc. and when the load is complete you can do this:
holder_mc.monkey();
//and you’ve called the function.
not in mx2004. once monkey.swf is loaded into holder_mc, it exists inside holder_mc as a namless instance. calling holder_mc.monkey() produces nothing.
it’s not a big deal because you can just put
this.addListener(this._parent);
into the monkey.swf (and every other clip you’re planning on loading)
so when the load is complete, your holder_mc just broadcasts a message to its contents.
I’m talking too much. :snooze:
but i’m thirsty for opinions on how you all are using and if you’re using version7 features like MovieClipLoader and FormsApplications to design stuff.
because I, for one, spent a while testing all this new stuff and the only thing I like is the Media Components and cuePoints
gimme some feedback per piacere : )
