[osflash] Using MovieAssetMaterial with Flex

[Glen Pike]

Hi,

    This article talks about using MovieMaterial vs MovieAssetMaterial.

    For stuff in Flex, if you want to use external assets that you load 
at compile time, you have to Embed them:

    With this you can Embed a single SWF, or use the LinkageID set in 
Flash to specifically target a Symbol.

    Then you can instantiate these symbols at runtime - you may need to 
cast them though:

    mySymbolInstance = new SymbolInstance() as MovieClip;

    You can embed a MovieClip at compile time, so I would guess you 
could then use this as a MovieMaterial.

    Not sure about loading stuff at runtime and using it.
