using skin object for transfering DisplayObject to Avatar i

[kuzniz]

Hello,

I would like to add my dynamic image to the avatar, for that I want to pass a DisplayObject to the skin:object before calling openSpace.createMyAvatar
like this ....

Code: Select all


   private function generateSkin():Object
      {
         var isMale:Boolean = main.rb_male.selected
         var skin:Object = {}
         skin.sex = isMale ? "m" : "f"
         skin.race = "european"
         //skin.hair = main.cb_hair.selected ? (isMale ? "hair1" : "hair2") : ""
         //skin.bust = main.cb_bust.selected ? (isMale ? "shirt1" : "shirt2") : ""
         //skin.legs = main.cb_legs.selected ? (isMale ? "jeans1" : "jeans2") : ""
         
         skin.hair = (isMale ? "hair1" : "hair2")
         skin.bust = (isMale ? "shirt1" : "shirt2")
         skin.legs = (isMale ? "jeans1" : "jeans2")
            
         skin.title = main.gTitle
         
         skin.clogo = main.gLogo


and in the ExampleGhost.as do this
public class ExampleGhost extends Avatar
....
override public function init():void
      {
         
.....
        tf_title.text = this.skin.title
   var logo:MovieClip  =getChildByName("Logo") as MovieClip
         var logo2add:DisplayObject  = this.skin.clogo
         if ( logo2add != null)     logo.addChild(logo2add)
....


somehow the string is passing ok but the displayobject is not ( i am geeting a null object in the ExampleGhost script)
what do i do worng?
is there another way to pass dynamiclly image to ExampleGhost.as script ( i can put the image on a web site and retrive it from there but it look massy..)

thanks

I don't think you can do this. You will need a more complex swf containing the avatar assets, capable of loading external entities.

hi,

I have solved it by putting the imagein url sending the url test and then attaching the images
