external swf into MovieMaterial

[metSyS]

I have a problem. To transform Embeded swf into MovieMaterial we need
to do next :

[Embed(source="Mxml.swf")]
private var mv:Class;
private var topMaterial:MovieMaterial = new MovieMaterial(new mv(),
{interactive:true, smooth:true});

But I need to transform swf into MovieMaterial from external file, so
I thought it must be :

private var frontMaterial:MovieMaterial;
...
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("Mxml.swf"));
frontMaterial=new MovieMaterial(loader);

But it doesn't work. Need help. Thanks.

If anything, you would have to wait for your swf to load first. Also most likely you would have to use the loaders content instead:

So you would wait for the

onCompleteHandler

to create you movie material.

Hopefully it works for you.

It's clear, but i can't understand how to transform the loaded swf
into MovieMaterial ...

[Peter Kapelyan]

Whoops, I see it is embedded, maybe try

var loaderAsMovieClip=loader as MovieClip();
frontMaterial=new MovieMaterial(loaderAsMovieClip);

Just a guess...sorry I can't try it myself right now

It's in the docs that you have to apply event handlers to loader's contentLoaderInfo in order to get the events to fire properly. Once the events are done, then build your movie clip mat. If you try building it before Event.COMPLETE, it will fail.

The other thing that I don't think anybody asked is: are you testing this locally, or on a website? Flash likes to lock you out of loading local files unless you know how to flip the switch to local files and turn off network access. Dunno if that's still an issue in CS4.

I set up in project properties ActionScript Compiler>additional
compiler arguments : -use-network=false. I think it must solve problem
with network. So I understand that I need after :

var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("Mxml.swf"));

add event listener for listening if the downloading complete or not?
Soory for my bad english.

ok one more time. In this way :

[Embed(source="Mxml.swf")]
private var mv:Class;
private var topMaterial:MovieMaterial = new MovieMaterial(new mv(),
{interactive:true, smooth:true});

I get "topMaterial" which are swf file wich embeded into my project,
and i can use it as a texture(material) for any primitive.

In this way :

var loader:Loader=new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("Mxml.swf"));
addChild(loader);

I have loaded external SWF. But I can't transform it into
MovieMaterial, which I want to use as texture(material) for any
primitive.
Hope for HELP. Thanks.
