Embed AS3 swf into a AS2 FLA?

that's quite a bit more complex than you need, but it does load a swf.

Do you mean something like this?

use the flash help files. check the loader class. there will be an example showing how to use it to load another swf.

Although Im sure what youve written is completely accurate - but as a new person to flash I just dont understand it.

Do your or anyone else reading this know of a link to a webpage I can be directed to that will explain this at all?

there's not much to explain. create an as3 file, us a loader instance to load your as2 file and go from there.

if you want the button that loads the as3 video to be in the as2 file, you'll need to use the localconnection class to direct the loading as3 file to load the video, but if you can accept a button in the loading as3 file to load the video, you don't need to use the localconnection class.

Could you explain what you mean? Obviously if its not a hassle, then I want to use it...

you can't do that.

and i don't see any difference updating using an as3 loader and not using a loader.

Creating a 3rd fla, to load the AS2 Fla and the AS3 FLA just aint gonna fly. This website is updated daily and its just too much of a maintenance nightmare.

However, I do want to use Wabbits suggestion but I dont know how to create a web object.

The GetURL function opens the swf on its own, which I dont want to do. I want it to open the AS3 SWF in a small window within the page.

Can someone help please? Thanks in advance,

the answer to your original question is no.

but you could create an as3 swf that loads your as2 swf and your as3 video player.

or you could, similar to wabbit's suggestion, use getURL() to load an html page that embeds your as3 video player.

.... anyone know how to create a web object? Been playing around with this for days now......
