Loading external 3rd party .swf's?

Hi,

I want to create a .swf loader for some 3rd party swf applications of which I have no control over the code. Basically it would be a loader that can control fullscreen and volume settings. As HTML and Javascript can't control this. Ive been using the Loader functions in AS3 with some success. I am able to load some .swf's, but others do not load(maybe due to issues in the 3rd party apps). I dont know if this project is even possible (maybe too ambitious ). Ive read that Flex has more control over this but im not sure. Hope someone can guide me in the right direction.

Thank You,

If you have no control of what's in the files there may not be much you can do.  There can be a few reasons why a loaded file won't load/play as expected.  The file might rely on other files being loaded that are absent in your scenario, such as data, video, or other visual files.  The file might be an AS1/AS2 file which has _root references that can't work properly as a loaded file.

Ok, thanks for your help. Will have to do without volume control and just use HTML to make the frame fullscreen.

Thank You,
