copied!<p>You need to listen for the Event.INIT from the class when it is created. (If you are not embedding a symbol using the Embed metatag then Flash takes a few milliseconds to initialize the loaded movieclip). This does not seem to be a problem if the Flash IDE swf/swc does not contain any actionscript)</p> <p>The issue is sometimes it can be really quick, so it fires the INIT event before you get a chance to attach the event listener to the object. so you can't just attach it after you instantiate the object.</p> <p>A work around is to embed the swf as a byte array, then use the loader class to load the embedded bytes (This lets you set the event listener before calling load).</p> <p>e.g.</p> <pre><code>[Embed(source="assets.swf", mimeType="application/octet-stream")] private var assetBytes:Class; private var clip:MovieClip; private var loader:Loader; public function LoadBytesExample() { loader = new Loader(); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, onAssetLoaded); loader.loadBytes(new assetBytes()); } private function onAssetLoaded(e:Event):void { var loader:Loader = (e.currentTarget as LoaderInfo).loader; (e.currentTarget as LoaderInfo).removeEventListener(Event.INIT, onAssetLoaded); clip = loader.content as MovieClip; this.addChild(clip); clip.someTextField.text = "HELLO WORLD"; } </code></pre> <p>Sorry for the formatting, just wrote that off the top of my head</p> <p>And the syntax for embedding the symbol (You won't need to load this via a loader as the actionscript in the external swf/swc is stripped).</p> <pre><code>[Embed(source="assets.swf", symbol="somesymbol")] private var assetSymbol:Class; private var clip:MovieClip; public function LoadSymbolExample() { clip = new assetSymbol(); clip.sometext.text = "Hello World"; } </code></pre>
