I was working on a ActionScript Project. We wanted to integrate preloaders in our ActionSCript Project. We tried with mx.preloaders but din found it working on ActionScript Projects. Could you please guide how to use preloader in an ActionSCript project. Currently I had used preloader using [Frame=....] on the main swf but I want it for modules too. Hi ..

No code, period, for embedding. For dynamicly loading, sure, it'll be just fine. In AS3, that shouldn't be a problem. Regarding SWC's, yeah, the <a href='http://www.jessewarden.com/archives/2007/04/example_for_fle.html' rel="nofollow">Flex / Flash Component Kit</a> does just that. In AS2, no.

In AS3, that shouldn’t be a problem.

Regarding SWC’s, yeah, the Flex / Flash Component Kit does just that.

I had a hypothetical question for you though... If your flash symbol you want to embed has a nested symbol with its own class, the nested class doesn't invoke, possibly due to all the AS getting stripped and the linkage going away. Is there a way around that? I saw a few posts here about using extenal swc's... could that be a work around? are there any examples out there how to pull in an AS3 swc into flex2?

  1. Create Flash preloader. Typically a 100 frame MovieClip in Flash. Give it a symbol name. Flash 8 and below is ok.
  2. Create a preloader class that extends the mx.preloaders.DownloadProgressBar. An example can be seen if you go to View Source, and look at the package com.jxl.downloads.views with the class JXLDownloadsPreloader.
  3. Put your preloader class as the Application’s preloader. If you look at the View Source link above, and then look at the top of the Application class (JXLDownloads2.mxml), you can see the preloader tag setting which class to use.

    preloader=’com.jxl.downloads.views.JXLDownloadsPreloader’
