Unity - controlling subsymbol about lwf HOT 7 CLOSED

there are several way to get there. For example, LWF instance operator[] returns Movie instance by instance name.

Movie movie = lwfObject.lwf["child_Sym"];
if (movie)
    movie.GotoLabel("start");

Hi splhack,

I tryed that way (using C#):

lwf["winScreen"].Stop();

and I get NullReferenceExeption in Unity, probably can't get to that instance name, but I can't figure why. I'm questioning now the way I export to swf, but I think I followed all the rules.
in Flash I set it up like this:

I'm getting a bit desperate here, I know it should be simple but I must be doing something terrible wrong...

thank you for your help!

LWF operator[] or SearchMovieInstance uses instance name not symbol name. Could you try it?

Hi splhack,

I tryed to do a little test with those instance names and whatnot (fla file in link below):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BztBi3BqxzdsVnYzWnBtbGRXRWs/edit?usp=sharing

Main symbol is named "outer" - has additional translation animation added
inner symbols are : "inner" - has it's own rotation animation
"playMC" has it's own rotation animation

So inside my test_lwf : LWFObject class, I do it like this (feel free to correct me if I do anything wrong):
Movie attached_movie;
void Start()
{
string dir = string.Format("{0}.swf/", "test");
string path = dir + "test";
Load(path:path, texturePrefix:dir);
attached_movie = lwf.rootMovie.AttachMovie("outer","test");
attached_movie.Stop();
}

and what that makes is that "outer" animations stop but not animations from "inner" or "playMC".
And when I try accessing one of those objects via instance name ("playMC" has instance name added):
lwf["playMC"].Stop();
or
attached_movie["playMC"].Stop();

I get NullReferenceInstance error and can't access "playMC" in any way known to me...

I hope this makes any sense and you can help me with this, this is probably a second week I'm dealing with this without any progress :)

thank you for your swift answers and great support!

Because "inner" or "playMC" movie instance might not exist at that time, thus operator[] and SearchMovieInstance returns null. So you have to check null for the methods before calling Stop() method. Usually you can get the instance via operator[] and SearchMovieInstance in the next frame. It is not the exactly same behavior as Flash Player, but this behavior is for performance in LWF.

Or you can use LWF.AddMovieEventHandler method for catching the "inner" or "playMC" instance.

lwf.AddMovieEventHandler("inner", postLoad:(movie) => {
    movie.stop();
});
