<VideoLoader> not showing

[friendlygiraffe]

I am loading this XML, but the VideoLoader node doesn't seem to be loading :

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


	New Cooling package

			trace('coolingSWF ' +LoaderMax.getContent("coolingSWF"));
		trace('coolingSWF2 ' +LoaderMax.getContent("coolingSWF2"));
		trace('coolingVID ' +LoaderMax.getContent("coolingVID"));

 

Which displays:

 

coolingSWF [object ContentDisplay]

coolingSWF2 [object ContentDisplay]

coolingVID null

are you activating the VideoLoader in the file that is loading that xml?

are you activating the VideoLoader in the file that is loading that xml?

ah no, I didn't realise I had to do that. It works now using:

 

I used

LoaderMax.activate([VideoLoader]);

 

How come I don't have to activate the other loaders eg: SWFLoader ?

I'd have to guess that you have SWFLoader declared somewhere in your AS code. I think that if you only reference the loader type in your XML that you have to activate it in the AS code to fire the particular loader class. I could be wrong, I'm getting things backwards all the time

yup you are exactly correct.

 

in your ActionScript code whenever you declare a new SWFLoader or XMLLoader they get activated automatically and XMLLoader knows to be looking for them.
