Call function from external SWF in AS3
This post will show you how to call a function from an external SWF. I have modified code from the load external SWF tutorial. The code below assume you have a method in your external SWF called testing().
//This creates a new instance of the loader object. var my_Loader:Loader = new Loader(); var my_loadedSwf:MovieClip; //These listeners detect when the file has finished loading, and if the correct file is //loaded. my_Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, finishLoading); my_Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler); //The load method then loads the SWF file into the loader object. my_Loader.load(new URLRequest("mouseover2.swf")); //This assigns the loaded SWF into a variable which allows the testing() function to be called. function finishLoading(loadEvent:Event) { my_loadedSwf = loadEvent.currentTarget.content; addChild(my_loadedSwf); my_loadedSwf.testing(); } function errorHandler(errorEvent:Event):void { trace("file not found"); }
