how to access flash.display.Loader used by the SWFLoader

[Saad]

I'm trying to get hold of flash.display.Loader used by the SWFLoader in order to manually instantiate/setup the custom document class used by the SWF.

 

typically in as3, we'd use flash.display.Loader as below.

var className:String = getQualifiedClassName(loader.content);
var classRef:Class = loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition(className) as Class;
var captureModule = new classRef();
addChild(captureModule as DisplayObject);

LoaderMax routine

loaderMax.append(new SWFLoader("capture.swf", {name:"capture"}));

completeHandler, stuck at trying to get the loader object, seems it's private. Any suggestions please?

function completeHandler(event:LoaderEvent): void {
	var className:String = getQualifiedClassName(loaderMax.getContent("capture").rawContent);
	var loader = loaderMax.getLoader("capture"); //It's SWFLoader
	//var classRef:Class = loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition(className) as Class;
	//trace(classRef);
}

Got it...

var className:String = getQualifiedClassName(loaderMax.getContent("capture").rawContent);
var loader = loaderMax.getContent("capture").rawContent.loaderInfo.loader;
var classRef:Class = loader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition(className) as Class;
trace(classRef);

Cool, thanks for posting your solution. 

 

Just so you know, SWFLoader has a getClass() which might help too. http://greensock.com/asdocs/com/greensock/loading/SWFLoader.html#getClass()
