Thanks Hans. Yes, I tried this myself this morning. I'm working in
AS2. I'm pretty much ruling this out. I think it will be more trouble
than it's worth.
A little background will clarify why:
Our goal was to allow an instructor to create content and then export
that content in a single swf file. We'd use swfmill + mtasc to create
the swf from within our content-creator application. They'd then be
able to upload that swf to any LMS. The presentation engine and the
other "secure" operations would reside in a static swf that would reside
in on our server.
Just a pipe dream. I'm ready to move on to more viable solutions.

Hi,
calling a function in the root that would instantiate the symbol is not
going to work, neither is using reflection to get classes by name. The issue
you are dealing with is that by default flash will only let you attach
clips to a clip from the library from whence it came.
I'll try to whip up a sample up of the runtime share hack.

Totally forget in AS2, but maybe research getDefinitionByName() - it can
retrieve a class based on a classname string - and maybe there are some
comments about AS2 vs. AS3

Hi,
I don't remember the exact details, but if I remember correctly there are
2
ways:
1.
let the child attach the clip at the root, copy its bitmap data and use
that
to create a clip in its own root, but this will result in static bitmaps
only
2.
-declare an empty clip with linkage id in the root and export it for
runtime
sharing
-in the child import the clip from the parent for runtime sharing
It was one of those hacks, but it's been a long time, so I'm not sure I
got
the steps all right, I might have those files somewhere.
Hope that helps!

How would one instantiate a symbol instance linked to the parent
movie's
library?
E.g., there's an asset in top most movie's library called "Asset". The
presentation engine is a separate swf that gets loaded into the top
most
movie. From within this movie, using AS2, I need to create an instance
of
Asset.
The child swf uses _lockRoot.
Thanks!
