Hello,
We noticed this morning that any SWFs published in 4.01 (bought it yesterday, we can't seem to get a hook for simpleAPI - can anyone else confirm this)

coppercubeSprite = sceneLoader.content as DisplayObject;
simpleAPI = coppercubeSprite['simpleAPI'];

//simpleAPI is always Null in 4.01

I think this changed a bit in CC4, the docs seem not to be up to date. You need to check

simpleAPI = coppercubeSprite['simpleAPI'];

later, until it is fully loaded. Like in a onGraphicsFrame callback. Then it works.

Yes, that's true. Do a

addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onGraphicsFrame);

And then do something like this:


// called when the coppercube .swf file has been loaded and initialized
private function onCoppercubeLoaded(e:Event):void 
{     
   // get access to the simple API object:
   coppercubeSprite = loader.content as DisplayObject;
   loadingFinished = true;  
}

// called every frame
public function onGraphicsFrame(event:Event):void
{  
   if (loadingFinished)
   {      
    if (!simpleAPI && coppercubeSprite)
     simpleAPI = coppercubeSprite['simpleAPI'];
       
    if (simpleAPI && simpleAPI.isLoaded()) 
    {
       // ab hier ist alles ok
    }
}
}

This is because of the new integrated preloader. The sprite is already there and active and doing something (displaying an animating the loading bar), but the simpleAPI isn't yet there because the file hasn't still loaded completely. So you need to check continuously.

The docs really need to be updated for this.
