Hmmm... it seems that AVM2 has solved the classic problem we had with Flash
that forced us to use RSL to do this kind of thing? I mean, we couldn´t just
load a swf and use it´s assets on the parent context and vice-versa... is it
possible with flex 2?

Solved it.
Actually I was complicating things when trying to use the samples in
other articles. Do this if you are interested in checking:
- Create a skin.swf
- Create one symbol and export it as "Button_up"
- Publish to build the swf.
- Use the following to include the skin at runtime.
package {
import flash.display.*;
import flash.errors.*;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.system.*;
import flash.net.*;
public class SkinTest extends Sprite{
private var theSkin:Loader;
public function SkinTest(){
loadSkin();
}
private function loadSkin():void{
theSkin = new Loader();
theSkin.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
skinLoadedHandler);
theSkin.load(new URLRequest("skin.swf"));
}
private function skinLoadedHandler(event:Event):void{
// try to use symbol from skin.swf
var asset:Sprite = getSkinAsset("Button_up");
addChild(asset);
}
private function getSkinAsset(skinAsset:String){
var assetClass:Class =
theSkin.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain.getDefinition(skinAsset) as
Class;
var asset:Object = new assetClass();
return asset;
}
}
}
I hope this helps someone.
