AVM1Movie Controller in Flex

Overcome restrictions on an AVM1 SWF file loaded by an AVM2 SWF file:

While trying to control AVM1Movie (Flash Player 8, 9, 10 or older) from flex, we will get the below error message: ”Property stop not found on flash.display.AVM1Movie and there is no default value. ”

To overcome this problem, ForcibleLoader class converts them into latest player versions on runtime. The below is an working example for how to control AVM1Movie from Flex.

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx=”http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml” layout=”absolute” initialize=”init()”>
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private var swfURL:String = "AVM1Movie.swf";
private var libMC:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
private function init():void{
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, swfComplete);
var fLoader:ForcibleLoader = new ForcibleLoader(loader);
fLoader.load(new URLRequest(swfURL));
swfContainer.addChild(loader);
}
private function swfComplete(event:Event):void{
libMC = event.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
libMC.gotoAndStop(1);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:UIComponent id=”swfContainer”/>
<mx:NumericStepper id=”slide” change=”{libMC.gotoAndStop(slide.value)}”/>
</mx:Application>
