Thanks Juan - I will try this out - the reason behind investigating this is for obfuscation; I'm interested in finding a way to load an asset into flash without triggering a standard http request (I guess URLLoader will trigger one). You're right about LoaderContext too - I think it needs to be set to the current context before you can read the byte data from the external file

You'll get a ByteArray. Pass that to Loader::loadBytes() wait for the complete event to fire and you're all set. Well, almost. If the loaded swf is in a different domain, you need a crossdomain. If I recall correctly, this case also involved some LoaderContext particular setup (can't remember the details, though). You don't need to do anything server-side if you are serving the swf as a normal file.
