Hello and thank you for your post, of all those related to this issue, it is the one I like the most.

Do you think you could post or email me an example including the source code and the movie to produce library.swf?

I am asking because I have tried many different combinations and I cannot make this work.

It would be great if you could post or email me a zip file with everything needed.

Thanks.

Thank you, this is incredibly useful!

@Seb: In case you never got it working: I got the same error and fixed it by declaring the movieclip as a variable, like public var myMask:MovieClip; in the class.

I am trying to do this but it doesnt work, I keep getting:

“App_Picture.as(10): col: 42 Error: The definition of base class BitmapAsset was not found.”

Any ideas?

Thanks for this tip Mark, I am having the following issue:

My movieclip makes use of other movieclips in the library.swf (like buttons, etc), when I try to complie my “application.swf” I get an error for each movieclip that the Star class references, saying:

1120: Access of undefined property myMask.

My Star class has a line in the constructor that reads:

myMask.cacheAsBitmap = true;

Would you happen to know why this happens? Thanks in advance for your support

Hi, thanx for the help, I was having trouble with this embed tag…
But is it possible to prevent flash from compressing the embedded images, just as I would in the properties panel of my flash library item. an undocumented embed parameter, perhaps?

thanks again:)

[Embed(source = '../assets/graphics_library.swf', symbol = 'Clip0')]

that fixed it. Also not sure if its good to call the instance the same a s the class.
