Question

External swf constructor execution

I was wondering, if you load an external swf, would its document's class constructor execution stop the execution of a code in the main swf which loads the external one?

Not if you not explicitly program it this way.

In other words there is no automatism that pauses or stops the main.swf from executing whatever routines you have running.

I think that's not true, prove me if I am not right. I have done the following test:

main.swf:

// constructor

stage.frameRate = 30
var loader:Loader = new Loader()
loader.load(new URLRequest('external.swf'))

var timer:Timer = new Timer(30)

timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, function(e:TimerEvent):void{

     trace('timer')

})

timer.start()

external.swf:


var t = getTimer();

for (var j:int = 0; j < 10; j++) {

                  

     trace('tick ' + (getTimer() - t))

}

var doSomeHardStaff:Function = function():void{

     for (var i:int = 0; i < 60000; i++)

     {

          var a:int = Math.sqrt(Math.sin(33) / i * Math.random())

          var b:int = Math.sqrt(Math.sin(35) / i * Math.random())

          var c:int = Math.sqrt(Math.sin(13) / i * Math.random())

          var d:int = Math.sqrt(Math.sin(83) / i * Math.random())

          var e:int = Math.sqrt(Math.sin(323) / i * Math.random())

          a + b / c - d * e

     }

}
