[Swftools-common] swfc

[Mark D. Zarecky]

The following actionscript works fine when I specify a version 6 file format
and compile with swfc. If I specify version 7 or 8, the sprite does not
appear on the stage.

Is there a problem with the actionscript (i.e. deprecated in 7 and 8) or
do you think it is just an idiosyncrasy in the way swfc compiles it?
Any input would be appreciated.

.flash bbox=300x300 name="load_external_jpeg.swf" fps=15 version=6
compress background=white

.sprite photo_sprite
 .action:
    createEmptyMovieClip("externalPhoto",1);
    externalPhoto._x = 0;
    externalPhoto._y = 0;
    externalPhoto.loadMovie(_root.photo);  // flashVar photo=photo.jpg
 .end
.end

.put photo_sprite

.end
