External Image Support

For those developing Slave Girl with the SDK I have just developed routines to support loading external files, images, mp3 files.

This could allow you to develop a slave girl where all the images are in a subfolder with the slave girl's swf file. When the image is used it would be loaded and shown.

This process is a bit slower than loading a movie fully embedded in the swf file but may be easier for some developers.

So instead of showing an image using
_root.ShowMovie(EventMilk, true, 0);

you can as well use
var milkmc:MovieClip = undefined;
...
milkmc = _root.LoadImageAndShowMovie(milkmc, "Milk.jpg", true, 0);
..

There is a bit of overhead to maintain the MovieClip references

  1. wow. Thanks. That definitely made it easier to code. I was looking through the SDK for something like that and when I couldn't find it I was confused.

    I have never coded with ActionScript but I do have some experience with Java, and C so I was looking through that perspective.

    Great job with the game. Keep up the good work and stay in good health.
