I am trying to download an external swf with (as3 file) actionscript. I am using Adobe Air to publish to iOS.

On publishing it in iOS, I am getting following warning - "ActionScript contained in externally loaded SWF files will be ignored on iOS devices"

I have uploaded a demo zip file with my code. Plz have a look.

I am using adobe flash professional cs6. Air SDK version is 13.0.0.83

Thanks for your help!

You haven't asked the question yet, what is the matter? This warning means that on iOS you can;t have SWF's with code as this code will not work after loading - thus no modules or shared libraries. - Lukasz 'Severiaan' Grela

Per Packaging and loading multiple SWFs in AIR apps on iOS:

AIR on iOS requires that all the ActionScript code of an application be present in the main SWF or the root SWF.

swf-loading

Dynamically loading a remote SWF that contains ActionScript code will not work on iOS; nor will embedding SWFs using the [Embed] meta tag.

Adobe has introduced a way to load secondary .swfs with code.

http://blogs.adobe.com/airodynamics/2013/03/08/external-hosting-of-secondary-swfs-for-air-apps-on-ios/

They get around the Apple limitation by embedding the AS in the app at build time -- but not the assets. When the .swf is loaded dynamically, it loads the assets and reunites it with the code. A great way to keep app file size down.
