Is loading a as2 swf into my as3 flash site the problem here?

Report · Feb 07, 2013

My question is listed on another board here, but I am too inexperienced to understand how to fix my issue:

I went on flashkit.com and a member there immediately said that it "sounds like the problem is using the AS2 swf loaded into the AS3 swf."

If it is... this mean I will have to convert everything in the AS2 .swf (including the XML retrieval script) to AS3. I may need some help with that if that is the problem.

So will AS2 swfs cause XML communication and retrieval issues if loaded with a loader script into an AS3 file?

Everything works (the buttons are clickable and when you click on a square in the "thumbnails" scroller it displays the correct photo title and captions), except I just cannot see the actual photos in my XML gallery. I am truly clueless as to why this happens and I've searched for days straight and tried many things...

You'll find all the details of my problem in the above link.

Thanks!

Its really not worth the trouble to get as2 working with as3 if your goal is to make an xml driven gallery. There are literally thousands of free examples/tutorials how to achieve that feature with 50+ LOC. Like this one.
