Accessing loaded SWFs via the container

[neuralism]

Hello,

 

I've loaded some SWFs into a container and need to access the SWFs via the container itself. How should I go about it?

 

loader.append(new SWFLoader("my.swf"), { onComplete: completeHandler, container: myMovieClip} ));

 

Let's say I'm now working in the DocumentClass or the timeline of myMovieClip. How do I go about accessing the content that has been loaded onto its stage?

 

Thanks!

I think this should work

 

myMovieClip.addChild( LoaderMax.getContent() );

Thanks un4given, but I'd wanna get the content from myMovieClip itself.

 

meaning how can I access the loaded clips if I'm writing some actionscript on the myMovieClip timeline or documentclass

I assume you're talking about the loader's rawContent which would refer to the subloaded swf's root (unless security problems were encountered in which case rawContent will refer to a Loader object instead).

 

var loader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader("child.swf", {name:"mySWF", onComplete:completeHandler});
loader.load();
function completeHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
   var swfRoot:MovieClip = loader.rawContent; //assuming your swf's document class extends MovieClip
}

 

Of course if you want to get the loader by name or URL from anywhere, you could do:

 

var loader:SWFLoader = LoaderMax.getLoader("mySWF");

 

And then you can get the rawContent.

 

Does that answer your question?

Yup i think the latter is what I'm looking for.

 

Thanks greensock!
