Well, if you consider that adding a static function and a static variable to
get the Singleton working is a crazy amount of code, I'd have to agree with
you... Because the rest, well, it's just the same, with the difference that
I'm using a "named" event (for lack of a better word, I mean public static
var EVENT_NAME:String) and that I actually wrote a sample implementation to
register for the event and dispatching it.
This is debatable, but I personally prefer to avoid extending MovieClip in
AS 2, as a general rule. However, in this scenario you're loading an swf
into an empty MovieClip (which extends ObservableClip, if I didn't get you
wrong). That means that when the swf is loaded, your "stager" empty
MovieClip has lost all of its properties and is just a plain regular
MovieClip, so you won't be able to dispatch events from it (since it's not
anymore an ObservableClip). Or maybe I missing something here...
