Inheritance | SWFLoaderVars ![]() |
vars
parameter of an SWFLoader's constructor.
There are 2 primary benefits of using a SWFLoaderVars instance to define your SWFLoader variables:
onComplete
where a Function is expected).USAGE
Note that each method returns the SWFLoaderVars instance, so you can reduce the lines of code by method chaining (see example below).
Without SWFLoaderVars:
new SWFLoader("child.swf", {name:"swf", estimatedBytes:11500, container:this, width:400, height:300, onComplete:completeHandler, onProgress:progressHandler})
With SWFLoaderVars
new SWFLoader("photo1.jpg", new SWFLoaderVars().name("swf").estimatedBytes(11500).container(this).width(400).height(300).onComplete(completeHandler).onProgress(progressHandler))
NOTES:
new SWFLoader("child.swf", new SWFLoaderVars().name("swf").estimatedBytes(11500).vars);

suppressInitReparentEvents(value:Boolean):SWFLoaderVars If true, the SWFLoader will suppress the REMOVED_FROM_STAGE and ADDED_TO_STAGE events that are normally dispatched when the subloaded swf is reparented into the ContentDisplay (this always happens in Flash when any DisplayObject that's in the display list gets reparented - SWFLoader just circumvents it by default initially to avoid common problems that could arise if the child swf is coded a certain way). | SWFLoaderVars | ||
suppressUncaughtErrors(value:Boolean):SWFLoaderVars To automatically suppress uncaught errors in the subloaded swf (errors that are thrown outside of a try...catch statement), set suppressUncaughtErrors to true, but please note that this will ONLY work if the parent swf is published to Flash Player 10.1 or later. | SWFLoaderVars | ||

|
allowMalformedURL | () | method |
public function allowMalformedURL(value:Boolean):SWFLoaderVars
Normally, the URL will be parsed and any variables in the query string (like "?name=test&state=il&gender=m") will be placed into a URLVariables object which is added to the URLRequest. This avoids a few bugs in Flash, but if you need to keep the entire URL intact (no parsing into URLVariables), set allowMalformedURL:true
. For example, if your URL has duplicate variables in the query string like http://www.greensock.com/?c=S&c=SE&c=SW
, it is technically considered a malformed URL and a URLVariables object can't properly contain all the duplicates, so in this case you'd want to set allowMalformedURL
to true
.
Parameters
value:Boolean |
SWFLoaderVars |
alpha | () | method |
public function alpha(value:Number):SWFLoaderVars
Sets the ContentDisplay
's alpha
property.
Parameters
value:Number |
SWFLoaderVars |
alternateURL | () | method |
public function alternateURL(value:String):SWFLoaderVars
If you define an alternateURL
, the loader will initially try to load from its original url
and if it fails, it will automatically (and permanently) change the loader's url
to the alternateURL
and try again. Think of it as a fallback or backup url
. It is perfectly acceptable to use the same alternateURL
for multiple loaders (maybe a default image for various SWFLoaders for example).
Parameters
value:String |
SWFLoaderVars |
autoDispose | () | method |
public function autoDispose(value:Boolean):SWFLoaderVars
When autoDispose
is true
, the loader will be disposed immediately after it completes (it calls the dispose()
method internally after dispatching its COMPLETE
event). This will remove any listeners that were defined in the vars object (like onComplete, onProgress, onError, onInit). Once a loader is disposed, it can no longer be found with LoaderMax.getLoader()
or LoaderMax.getContent()
- it is essentially destroyed but its content is not unloaded (you must call unload()
or dispose(true)
to unload its content). The default autoDispose
value is false
.
Parameters
value:Boolean |
SWFLoaderVars |
autoPlay | () | method |
public function autoPlay(value:Boolean):SWFLoaderVars
If autoPlay
is true
(the default), the swf will begin playing immediately when the INIT
event fires. To prevent this behavior, set autoPlay
to false
which will also mute the swf until the SWFLoader completes. This only calls stop()
on the main timeline but it does not prevent scripted animations.
Parameters
value:Boolean |
SWFLoaderVars |
bgAlpha | () | method |
public function bgAlpha(value:Number):SWFLoaderVars
Controls the alpha of the rectangle that is drawn when a width
and height
are defined.
Parameters
value:Number |
SWFLoaderVars |
bgColor | () | method |
public function bgColor(value:uint):SWFLoaderVars
When a width
and height
are defined, a rectangle will be drawn inside the ContentDisplay
Sprite immediately in order to ease the development process. It is transparent by default, but you may define a bgColor
if you prefer.
Parameters
value:uint |
SWFLoaderVars |
blendMode | () | method |
public function blendMode(value:String):SWFLoaderVars
Sets the ContentDisplay
's blendMode
property.
Parameters
value:String |
SWFLoaderVars |
centerRegistration | () | method |
public function centerRegistration(value:Boolean):SWFLoaderVars
If true
, the registration point will be placed in the center of the ContentDisplay which can be useful if, for example, you want to animate its scale and have it grow/shrink from its center.
Parameters
value:Boolean |
SWFLoaderVars |
container | () | method |
public function container(value:DisplayObjectContainer):SWFLoaderVars
A DisplayObjectContainer into which the ContentDisplay
Sprite should be added immediately.
Parameters
value:DisplayObjectContainer |
SWFLoaderVars |
context | () | method |
public function context(value:LoaderContext):SWFLoaderVars
To control whether or not a policy file is checked (which is required if you're loading an image from another domain and you want to use it in BitmapData operations), define a LoaderContext
object. By default, the policy file will be checked when running remotely, so make sure the appropriate crossdomain.xml file is in place. See Adobe's LoaderContext
documentation for details and precautions.
Parameters
value:LoaderContext |
SWFLoaderVars |
crop | () | method |
public function crop(value:Boolean):SWFLoaderVars
When a width
and height
are defined, setting crop
to true
will cause the image to be cropped within that area (by applying a scrollRect
for maximum performance). This is typically useful when the scaleMode
is "proportionalOutside"
or "none"
so that any parts of the image that exceed the dimensions defined by width
and height
are visually chopped off. Use the hAlign
and vAlign
special properties to control the vertical and horizontal alignment within the cropped area.
Parameters
value:Boolean |
SWFLoaderVars |
estimatedBytes | () | method |
public function estimatedBytes(value:uint):SWFLoaderVars
Initially, the loader's bytesTotal
is set to the estimatedBytes
value (or LoaderMax.defaultEstimatedBytes
if one isn't defined). Then, when the loader begins loading and it can accurately determine the bytesTotal, it will do so. Setting estimatedBytes
is optional, but the more accurate the value, the more accurate your loaders' overall progress will be initially. If the loader is inserted into a LoaderMax instance (for queue management), its auditSize
feature can attempt to automatically determine the bytesTotal
at runtime (there is a slight performance penalty for this, however - see LoaderMax's documentation for details).
Parameters
value:uint |
SWFLoaderVars |
hAlign | () | method |
public function hAlign(value:String):SWFLoaderVars
When a width
and height
is defined, the hAlign
determines how the image is horizontally aligned within that area. The following values are recognized (you may use the com.greensock.layout.AlignMode
constants if you prefer):
"center"
(the default) - The image will be centered horizontally in the area"left"
- The image will be aligned with the left side of the area"right"
- The image will be aligned with the right side of the areaParameters
value:String |
SWFLoaderVars |
height | () | method |
public function height(value:Number):SWFLoaderVars
Sets the ContentDisplay
's height
property (applied before rotation, scaleX, and scaleY).
Parameters
value:Number |
SWFLoaderVars |
integrateProgress | () | method |
public function integrateProgress(value:Boolean):SWFLoaderVars
By default, a SWFLoader instance will automatically look for LoaderMax loaders in the swf when it initializes. Every loader found with a requireWithRoot
parameter set to that swf's root
will be integrated into the SWFLoader's overall progress. The SWFLoader's COMPLETE
event won't fire until all such loaders are also complete. If you prefer NOT to integrate the subloading loaders into the SWFLoader's overall progress, set integrateProgress
to false
.
Parameters
value:Boolean |
SWFLoaderVars |
name | () | method |
public function name(value:String):SWFLoaderVars
A name that is used to identify the loader instance. This name can be fed to the LoaderMax.getLoader()
or LoaderMax.getContent()
methods or traced at any time. Each loader's name should be unique. If you don't define one, a unique name will be created automatically, like "loader21".
Parameters
value:String |
SWFLoaderVars |
noCache | () | method |
public function noCache(value:Boolean):SWFLoaderVars
If true
, a "gsCacheBusterID" parameter will be appended to the url with a random set of numbers to prevent caching (don't worry, this info is ignored when you LoaderMax.getLoader()
or LoaderMax.getContent()
by url
or when you're running locally).
Parameters
value:Boolean |
SWFLoaderVars |
onCancel | () | method |
public function onCancel(value:Function):SWFLoaderVars
A handler function for LoaderEvent.CANCEL
events which are dispatched when loading is aborted due to either a failure or because another loader was prioritized or cancel()

SWFLoaderVars |
onChildCancel | () | method |
public function onChildCancel(value:Function):SWFLoaderVars
A handler function for LoaderEvent.CHILD_CANCEL
events which are dispatched each time loading is aborted on any nested LoaderMax-related loaders (active ones that the SWFLoader found inside the subloading swf that had their requireWithRoot
set to its root
) due to either an error or because another loader was prioritized in the queue or because cancel()
was manually called on the child loader. Make sure your onChildCancel function accepts a single parameter of type LoaderEvent
(com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent
).
Parameters
value:Function |
SWFLoaderVars |

).
Parameters
value:Function |
SWFLoaderVars |
onChildOpen | () | method |

(com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent
).
Parameters
value:Function |
SWFLoaderVars |

SWFLoaderVars |
onInit | () | method |
public function onInit(value:Function):SWFLoaderVars
A handler function for LoaderEvent.INIT
events which are called when the swf has streamed enough of its content to render the first frame and determine if there are any required LoaderMax-related loaders recognized.

(com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent
).
Parameters
value:Function |

events which are dispatched whenever the bytesLoaded
changes. Make sure your onProgress function accepts a single parameter of type LoaderEvent
(com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent
). You can use the LoaderEvent's target.progress
to get the loader's progress value or use its target.bytesLoaded
and target.bytesTotal
.
Parameters
value:Function |
SWFLoaderVars |
onSecurityError | () | method |
public function onSecurityError(value:Function):SWFLoaderVars
A handler function for LoaderEvent.SECURITY_ERROR
events which onError handles as well, so you can use that as more of a catch-all whereas onSecurityError is specifically for SECURITY_ERROR events. Make sure your onSecurityError function accepts a single parameter of type LoaderEvent
(com.greensock.events.LoaderEvent
).
Parameters
value:Function |
SWFLoaderVars |
onUncaughtError | () | method |
public function onUncaughtError(value:Function):SWFLoaderVars
A handler function for LoaderEvent.UNCAUGHT_ERROR
events which are dispatched when the subloaded swf encounters an UncaughtErrorEvent meaning an Error was thrown outside of a try...catch statement. This can be useful when subloading swfs from a 3rd party that may contain errors. However, UNCAUGHT_ERROR events will only be dispatched if the parent swf is published for Flash Player 10.1 or later! See SWFLoader's suppressUncaughtErrors
special property if you'd like to have it automatically suppress these errors. The original UncaughtErrorEvent is stored in the LoaderEvent's data
property. So, for example, if you'd like to call preventDefault()
on that UncaughtErrorEvent, you'd do myLoaderEvent.data.preventDefault()
.
Parameters
value:Function |
SWFLoaderVars |
prop | () | method |
public function prop(property:String, value:*):SWFLoaderVars
Adds a dynamic property to the vars object containing any value you want. This can be useful
in situations where you need to associate certain data with a particular loader. Just make sure
that the property name is a valid variable name (starts with a letter or underscore, no special characters, etc.)
and that it doesn't use a reserved property name like "name" or "onComplete", etc.
For example, to set an "index" property to 5, do:
prop("index", 5);
Parameters
property:String — Property name
| |
value:* — Value
|
SWFLoaderVars |

's scaleY
property.
Parameters
value:Number |
SWFLoaderVars |
suppressInitReparentEvents | () | method |
public function suppressInitReparentEvents(value:Boolean):SWFLoaderVars
If true
, the SWFLoader will suppress the REMOVED_FROM_STAGE
and ADDED_TO_STAGE
events that are normally dispatched when the subloaded swf is reparented into the ContentDisplay (this always happens in Flash when any DisplayObject that's in the display list gets reparented - SWFLoader just circumvents it by default initially to avoid common problems that could arise if the child swf is coded a certain way). For example, if your subloaded swf has this code: addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, disposeEverything)
and you set suppressInitReparentEvents
to false
, disposeEverything()
would get called as soon as the swf inits (assuming the ContentDisplay is in the display list).
Parameters
value:Boolean |
SWFLoaderVars |
suppressUncaughtErrors | () | method |
public function suppressUncaughtErrors(value:Boolean):SWFLoaderVars
To automatically suppress uncaught errors in the subloaded swf (errors that are thrown outside of a try...catch statement), set suppressUncaughtErrors
to true
, but please note that this will ONLY work if the parent swf is published to Flash Player 10.1 or later. Suppressing the UncaughtErrorEvent simply means calling its preventDefault()
and stopImmediatePropagation()
methods as well as preventing it from bubbling up to its parent LoaderMax/SWFLoader anscestors. If you'd rather listen for these events so that you can handle them yourself, listen for the LoaderEvent.UNCAUGHT_ERROR
event. The original UncaughtErrorEvent instance will be stored in the LoaderEvent's data
property.
Parameters
value:Boolean |
SWFLoaderVars |
vAlign | () | method |
public function vAlign(value:String):SWFLoaderVars
When a width
and height
is defined, the vAlign
determines how the image is vertically aligned within that area. The following values are recognized (you may use the com.greensock.layout.AlignMode
constants if you prefer):
"center"
(the default) - The image will be centered vertically in the area"top"
- The image will be aligned with the top of the area"bottom"
- The image will be aligned with the bottom of the areaParameters
