[SOLVED][BUG][Flash] SWF loading and null-pointer

Help
#1

Lime 2.6.2, OpenFl 3.3.3, SWF 2.0.2

project.xml

<library path="assets/lib.swf" id="mylib" preload="false" />

Main.hx

public function new() 
{
    super();
    Assets.loadLibrary("mylib", veclibLoaded);
}
    
function veclibLoaded(lib:AssetLibrary):Void
{
    
    trace("lib.swf is loaded");
    
    var mc = Assets.getMovieClip("mylib:sym_1");
    addChild(mc);
}

And result:

TypeError: Error #2007: Parameter url must be non-null.

There is no problem with html5 but for Flash.
Also for Lime 2.4.2, OpenFl 3.0.8, and SWF 1.8.8 all works. What am I doing wrong? Is something changed with ways to work with swf libraries?

This was a minor regression that is going to be fixed in the next release. You can hang tight (it will go out soon) or you can patch it yourself with this change: https://github.com/openfl/openfl/commit/514b5bc2d55df352cf0973928fd6a080d587985c :slight_smile:
