You want to duplicate all the objects inside your swf or just a BitmapData visual representation? The former is not possible (well, not unless the object is very simple) but the latter should be as simple as using BitmapData's draw() method.

the loaded swf contains only a simple vector grafic. i want to duplicate this and transform with your manager i've found a duplicate class http://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1939827#post1939827 but this does not work for an LoaderMax.getContent instance.....

yes my first feature request.... reload same data. normally this data is taken from the cache and very fast so there is no need to preload...but i need a workaround very soon, any suggestions?

What do you mean by "workaround"? What are you trying to work around? Can't you simply load the swf again with another SWFLoader if you want a duplicate object?

 

If you want to use that duplicate method from Senocular, you'd need to do that on your loader's rawContent, not content. Remember, the "content" refers to the ContentDisplay object into which your rawContent is placed. The rawContent is your actual swf (for a SWFLoader at least).

the last answer to this question http://forums.greensock.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3044 helped me to recognize my problem. yes i use now new swfloader instances. but in the post is the rawContent cast to a Movieclip that throws an error in my case. because rawContent was a loader object....

thanks
