addchild from externally loaded swf in Air project

Question

I am working on an Air app for iOS and looking for a way to load an external swf and then add/remove the movieclips in that library to the main stage.

Normally, I can use an addchild routine in the document class of the external swf which I can access from the main document class. But since document classes in externally loaded swfs are not allowed in Air deployment, I can't use this method.

Each external swf will contain up to 10 separate movieclips and there are over 25 external swf's I want to load in/remove from the main stage, all containing unique artwork/animation.

Can anyone please suggest a way to do this? THANKS! matt

Answer 1

I had same problem i also had around 10 different external swfs with code. So the easiest way for me was to compile every file to swc and included them after in project.
