I need to load multiple swf in HorizontalList, Flex3 Air application

Question

I need to load multiple swf in a list like control so that I can load all the swf from the folder and show them to the user, then the user can select any one and view it.

How can I load swf in HorizontalList in Flex3, please send me any example or link regarding this requirement.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Store the urls of swfs in an array and use it as dataProvider of the list. Use Image as the itemRenderer and assign data as the source url.

//script
[Bindable]
private var urls:Array = ["a.swf", "b.swf", "c.swf"];
//mxml
<mx:HorizontalList dataProvider="{urls}">
 <mx:itemRenderer>
  <mx:Component>
   <mx:Image source="{data}"/>
  </mx:Component>
 </mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:HorizontalList>

PS: Wouldn't it be better show thumbnails and load the swf only when user selects one? It would save a lot of bandwidth.
