here is my code...

it loads the swf perfectly fine but i cant figure out how to make it play 

PLEASE HELP!

		var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
		var url:String = "Fight2.swf";
		var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
		ldr.load(urlReq);
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, 					completeHandler);
		addChild(ldr)
		function completeHandler(event:Event):void
		{
		var loadedName:Object=event.currentTarget.content;
		loadedName.play();
		
		}

hey robert,

try this:

		function completeHandler(event:Event):void
		{
		var loadedName:MoveClip = MoveClip(event.currentTarget.content);

		addChild(loadedName);
		loadedName.play();
		
		}

Im not entirely sure if that will work. but its worth a shot. good luck!

Just curious, but what's "Fight2.swf"?  

[robertsteven192]

thanks for the quick reply!

unfortunately it doesnt seem to be working... it no longer shows the swf or plays it

AND 

Fight2.swf is currently a funny playful fight between my friends... im using it as a test before i actually make the swf i want. I want to make sure i can get it to play first haha

Can you recompile the source with the 0.9.3 SDK?

If by "fight between my friends" you mean it somehow encapsulates a video (e.g. .flv?) then you should know that the latest simulator (0.9.3) has many audio and video codecs missing (something about licensing issues, in the simulator only, which they are attempting to resolve).  Even the browser will not play many of them.  You can probably verify if this is your problem by "playing" the video, and watching how long it takes to complete (i.e. fire the completed event).  If it completes in the right duration, it's a codec issue...

(Hey, cool... in testing this a bit, I just discovered that the TED videos actually play, with sound!  Proof that the basic issue is codecs, and not an inherent problem in the sim as I originally suspected was the problem with audio.)

Can you attach the Fight2.swf you are trying to play?

Let me verify if it works or not, whether it is compatible with the latest simulator.

so i made a basic swf file that simply moves a square into different places... and it works!

so i think ur right in saying it was something with codecs.

O well i think i can still do what i wanted without having it play a movie... thanks for everything guys!

and i hope they solve the codec problems by the time the playbook is released!! haha

As I mentioned (and the linked post shows), the issue applies only to the simulator, not to the real platform.
