Question

I’m doing a project in AS3 (no external libraries or Flex) and I need to embed an explosion animation over a tile when it gets destroyed. I have a small explosion animation but I don’t know how I can get it to play at a specific location. Is there a way to do this? I’ve tried embedding it like so:

[Embed(source="../assets/64x48.swf", mimeType="application/octet-stream")] private var Explosion:Class 
var explosion:MovieClip;
explosion = new Explosion();
explosion.play();

but this doesn’t seem to do anything. If not an SWF, I also have a sprite sheet of an explosion I could use, but I’m not sure how to animate a sprite without using an external library.

Answer 1

Approach within your swf Movieclip you want to play, you must perform the following. swf convert to bytearray after, it must be restored.

EDIT

I checked your swf file. however, your swf file contents not MovieClip, but AVM1Movie file. so It is quite difficult to directly embedded. because AVM1Movie file convert to MovieClip Algorithm. but don’t worry. using a ForcibileLoader easily available.

download a ForcibileLoader

original ForcibileLoader here

refer a following code. I tested great work.

package
{
    import flash.display.Loader;
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.Event;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.utils.ByteArray;
    import flash.utils.getTimer;

    import org.libspark.utils.ForcibleLoader;

    public class TestProject2 extends Sprite
    {
        private var loader:Loader = new Loader();
        private var mc:MovieClip;

        public function TestProjec2t()
        {
            var fLoader:ForcibleLoader = new ForcibleLoader(loader);
            fLoader.load(new URLRequest("../asset/64x48.swf"));
            loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSwfLoaded);
            this.addChild(loader);
        }

        private function onSwfLoaded(e:Event):void 
        {
            trace(e.currentTarget.content);
            mc = e.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
            mc.x = Math.random() * stage.stageWidth;
            mc.y = Math.random() * stage.stageHeight;
            mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
        }
    }
}
