Accessing loader content

[bartpop]

I'm having trouble figuring out the correct syntax to access my content. I'm hoping you can set me straight

 

I have a SWFLoader that loads it's content into a container Sprite that I created, like so:

 myContainer = new Sprite();
addChildAt(myContainer,0);

var myLoader:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader(mySWF.swf, {name:"mySWF", container:myContainer});
myLoader.load();

 

I'm trying to access a public function that was part of the mySWF class definition, but can't figure out the syntax to get at it. myContainer.getChildAt(0).name returns "mySWF", (type = "ContentDisplay"). How would I access a function "myFunction" that's part of the mySWF class? I've tried every combination I can think of: myContainer.getChildAt(0).myFunction, myContainer.getChildAt(0).content.myFunction, myContainer.getChildAt(0).rawContent.myFunction... just can't seem to find the correct path.

I finally came upon a combination that worked:

 

var temp = myContainer.getChildAt(0);
temp.getChildAt(0).myFunction();

Or simply cast the rawContent as an Object, like Object(myLoader.rawContent).myFunction()

 

The issue simply has to do with data typing in Flash and the compiler sees that rawContent is technically a DisplayObject and not all DisplayObjects have a "myFunction()" function, so it burps. If, however, you type it as an Object or MovieClip (assuming your root class did indeed extend a MovieClip), those are "dynamic" classes that can contain pretty much any property/method, so the compiler doesn't complain.

 

Hope that makes sense.
