Flash Builder中的外部SWF

Question

I embed an external swf in flash builder like so:

[Embed(source="assets/sounds/mytestswf.swf")]
private static var mySwf: Class;

How can I access it and add it to another sprite on stage?

Answer 1

i don't think you need a loader, that's for libraries that are added at runtime. Embed compiles the assets directly in the swf, so addChild(new mySwf()); is enough to add it to the the display object list.

obviously, you'd like to assign it to a variable, so

var $mySwf:mySwf = new mySwf();
addChild($mySwf);

On a side note, you should name your classes consistently. Class names start with the first letter capitalized, so you can tell it apart from variables

[Embed(source="/assets/sounds/mytestswf.swf")]
private static var MySwf: Class;
...
var $mySwf:MySwf = new MySwf();
addChild($mySwf);

Answer 2

First, you need to specify mimeType="application/octet-stream" on your Embed . Then, you need to create a Loader instance and use the Loader.loadBytes() method to load the ByteArray associated with the embedded class:

var bytes:ByteArray = new mySwf();
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.loadBytes(bytes);
addChild(loader);
