SWSLoader problem

[pcbryant]

I have been pulling my hair out all day with this one.

I have a page with an SWFLoader in it. The contents of this loader will be changed depending on what I click on in the previous menu. The first time the I click on an item the loader shows fine. Then if I return to the previous screen and click on a different item then the loader does not show. If I go back again and choose the first item it shows it. It is like it is caching it, but I have turned all the caching parameters off for the swfloader.

Please help...

post some code. like how you are doing the loading.

I've got an swfloader component:

<mx:SWFLoader x="943" y="8" width="80" height="80" id="mediaPic" autoLoad="false" scaleContent="false" cacheAsBitmap="false" cachePolicy="off"/>

then I am using

mediaPic.load(sUrl); where sUrl is the url which I want to show

i've tried mixing everything up i.e. have autoload is true and just changing the source, setting the source as"" before loading.....

thanks in advance

what if you set the source (or loaded) the empty string "" between loads? So when you go to the menu, do a load(""), then when they click, load the clip. So it does "" between every load.

unfortunately not

There must be something that is making it not be able to load anything else but the first item.

i'll keep experimenting

thanks again

Hi guys. Its a pretty old topic but I have the same problem now, and using Flex 3.
I load rss feed from youtube, when the HTTPService has loaded it I load the first video and the rss xml into a List component. By clicking an item in the List, I want to load the corresponding video into the SWFLoader but that does not work!

Code:

<mx:Script>
    <![CDATA[

        private function playVideo(url:String):void {
            youTubeVideo.load('');
            youTubeVideo.load(url);
        }
        
    ]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HTTPService id="rssService" url="http://www.youtube.com/rss/user/gummiski/videos.rss" resultFormat="e4x" result="playVideo(event.result.channel.item[0].enclosure.@url);"/>
<mx:SWFLoader id="youTubeVideo"/>
<mx:List itemClick="playVideo(event.currentTarget.selectedItem.enclosure.@url)" dataProvider="{rssService.lastResult.channel.item}" labelField="title">
</mx:List>
