Re: [Swftools-common] swfc

Try passing an absolute url path for your photo variable, and make sure the swf is being fetched from the same domain as the movieclip. I've run into a similar problem before and I remember that being a solution.

The following actionscript works fine when I specify a version 6 file format

appear on the stage.

Is there a problem with the actionscript ( i.e. deprecated in 7 and 8) or
do you think it is just an idiosyncrasy in the way swfc compiles it?
Any input would be appreciated.

.flash bbox=300x300 name="load_external_jpeg.swf" fps=15 version=6
compress background="">
.sprite photo_sprite
.action:
    createEmptyMovieClip("externalPhoto",1);
    externalPhoto._x = 0;
    externalPhoto._y = 0;
    externalPhoto.loadMovie(_root.photo);  // flashVar photo= photo.jpg
.end
.end

.put photo_sprite

.end
