Playing a external SWF

[eisaias2000]

I'm using autoplay=false to load a swf using SWFLoader. As expected, the swf is stopped during the timeline.

 

Is there a way to make it play without knowing how many frames it has(without using the plugin "frame")?

Sure, you can control the externally loaded swf just like a movie clip with the common stop() play() gotoAndPlay() commands.

 

theNameOfYourSWFLoader.rawContent.play();

Thank you Carl. I think I not expressed myself correctly. Is there a way to use TweenLite to tween the Play ().

 

ex.: TweenLite.to (ball, 1, {play: 1});

I am a bit confused by what you are asking. It sounds like the frame plugin is what you need to use. What exactly is preventing you from using it?

[eisaias2000]

I'll have many swfs and don't know how many frames each one has.

[Carl]

oh ok, I understand. Good news for you.

you can use action script to determine how many frames your loaded swfs have.

 

 

trace( myVideoLoader.rawContent.totalFrames )

 

you can then use that value in your frame tween.
