Loading external SWF file issue.

Question

I am building a SWF player which loads external SWF's.

Rite Now. I could call the external SWF using URLRequest.

but I am getting 2 problems

1. How to run the SWF with the frame rate of the actual SWF movie. How can I know the frameRate of external SWF dynamically from within AS3.

2. I have set a layer of 450px by 350px. How do I scale the external SWF with showall property to fit in the layer.

Answer 1

see this url for the framerate : http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play.php?id=112

try to use the loaderInfo property of the loader object to resize your swf,

ex :

var l:Loader = new Loader();

l.load(new URLRequest("urlToYourSwf"));
l.loaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeFunction);

// completeFunction 

l.loaderInfo.width = xxx;
l.loaderInfo.height = xxx;
addChild(l);
