Q:

AS2 FLA Component with embeded classes

I'm trying to create an AS2 component which is easily skinnable.

I create an FLA component by creating a mc with some assets > component definition > link it to MyClass, and drop the fla into the Components dir. If I then drag the component into a new fla and try to render, it obviously throws the error that it can't find MyClass. I'd rather not provide the src files separately.

I've tried following some walk-throughs that described using the componentShim, but it seemed like that was only for AS3.

Any suggestions ?

TIA!

+1 A:

It seems to me you're trying to create a compiled clip (SWC). You can find some Adobe documentation here, but I'd rather go for this tutorial. Seems to be more straight forward and easier to understand.

you can't edit swc's content and skin it differently... so no, i'm actually looking for a way to do an fla component

Try to export a FLA component that will use the MyClass class from a swc component. Then you can ship both together. Won't that work?

If you mean to have 2 components, fla targeting the swc, then yea I'm sure it will work, but will require 2 components. If you mean have a swc inside the fla component, well then thats what i'm trying to do but havn't been successful. I could be doing it wrong though ;/

I think you may need to create an mxp that places your swc in the proper folder of the Flash installation. See here: http://davidjmcclelland.com/eLearning/?p=196 for more details on creating an mxp
