adobe flash buider (flex4): addChild() is not available in this class.
- by ufk
Hi.
I want to be able to load an swf into a flex 4 application in order to use it's classes.
var ldr:Loader=new Loader();
ldr.load(new URLRequest("file://path/to/fileswf"));
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.
addEventListener(Event.INIT, loaded);
function loaded(evt:Event):void { addChild(ldr); }
i receive the error:
Error: addChild() is not available in this class. Instead, use addElement() or modify the skin, if you have one.
at spark.components.supportClasses::SkinnableComponent/addChild()[E:\dev\gumbo_beta2\frameworks\projects\spark\src\spark\components\supportClasses\SkinnableComponent.as:966]
at main/private:init/loaded()[C:\Documents and Settings\ufk\Adobe Flash Builder Beta 2\xpogames-toolkit-test\src\main.mxml:22]
if i change addChild() to addElement() i receive the following compilation error:
1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type flash.display:Loader to an unrelated type mx.core:IVisualElement. main.mxml path/dir line 22 Flex Problem
any ideas how to resolve the issue ?
