StepsBefore diving into a step-by-step example, let's explore what we're going to achieve:
Step 1 - Creating a library movieOpen a new flash project (any stage-size will do) and perform the following steps:
We now have three new library symbols - each are movie clips. In order for these movie clips to be loaded (or "attached") dynamically, we need to add linkage names to these symbols. Note: Whilst all library symbols can be export and linked to, only
Movie-Clips can be accessed by ActionScript to dynamically load symbols. For
this reason, all dynamically loaded symbols must be Movie-Clips. If
you want to put a graphic (JPG, etc.) in your library, then put the graphic
into an empty movie-clip, and export the movie-clip.
Note: It is crucial that you export symbols that
you want to use from external movies. The linkage identifiers you give
symbols are the names that these symbols are given when your work is published
to a SWF movie. The names given to symbols in the library window are for authoring
purposes only - they are not available to ActionScript
Lastly - save the movie as "library.fla" and then publish it to "library.swf". Pressing Shift+F12 is a good shortcut to publish your flash movie.
