I am embedding SWF into my Flash Develop class.

I create an instance of it and add it to stage. It appears.

I try to check currentFrame but the trace reveals 0 at all times.

Code:

		[Embed(source = '../../../gameshed/logo_integration/_flash/logo.swf')]
		private var GSMainTimeline:Class;
		
		public var gslogo:MovieClip;
		
		public function GSSplash() 
		{
			gslogo = new GSMainTimeline();
			gslogo.scaleX = 0.65;
			gslogo.scaleY = 0.65;
			gslogo.y = 60;
			
			gslogo.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onLogoEnterFrame);
			gslogo.play();
			
			addChild(gslogo);
		}
		
		private function onLogoEnterFrame(e:Event):void 
		{
			if (e.target.currentFrame >= e.target.totalFrames)
			{
				FlxG.switchState(JWSplash);
				gslogo.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onLogoEnterFrame);
			}
		}		

What am I doing wrong?

I recurrently have this issue with SWF preloaders.

can you see the clip playing at all?

Not sure what it could be but I do know for one that any embedded swf will have all actionscript scrubbed from it. There might be additional damage.

Consider loading the swf perhaps?

The clip is playing and all it's just I can't control its playing. I don't know why.

Could be that it was written in AS2. I know it becomes more difficult to do stuff that way.

[mirosurabu]

It's AS3 ):

The workaround was LocalConnection, of course, but I really don't understand why I can't control embedded SFW from within the class I embed it into.

[st33d]

That's pretty odd behaviour. I'm able to do it myself.

All of the characters in the game I'm currently making have been put together as MovieClips in the Flash IDE and are then embedded as separate classes.

Is is the swf as a whole you're trying to manipulate? If you were importing it as a class, maybe it would play ball (which is what I'm doing with my clips).
