Accessing .stage from a loaded swf

[giuggio]

LoaderMax is exactly what I needed... Thanks!

 

Anyway, how is it possible to access the stage properties from a loaded swf? Strange, I get the error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

There must be a way...

When a swf is first loaded it isn't in the display list yet so its "stage" property will be null. What I always do is put conditional logic in my child swf, kinda like:

 

if (this.stage == null) {
   this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE, init);
} else {
   init(null);
}

 

init() is obviously where all my stage-dependent code runs. And don't forget to remove the ADDED_TO_STAGE listener there.

..and it just works fine. Thanks!
