Okay - can you store a reference to the loaded content that you can use to access it later, either as an instance variable or in an array?

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Naming a loaded swf

There is no need to cast. The Loader.content property is defined as a
DisplayObject -
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AS3LCR/Flash_10.0/flash/display/Loader.html#content

but I should have been more strictly typed.

function onComplete(loadEvent:Event):void {
   var loadedContent:DisplayObject = loadEvent.target.content;
   loadedContent.name = "MyName";
   addChild(loadedContent);
}

Cast it to a DisplayObject then give that a name?

var obj:DisplayObject = loadEvent.currentTarget as DisplayObject;
obj.name = "my instance";

I am loading a swf via something like:

var loader:Loader = new Loader();

function startLoad(dfile:String)
{
    var nRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(dfile);
    loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Evenet.COMPLETE.onComplete);
    loader.load(nRequest);
}

function onComplete(loadEvent:Event):void
{
    addChild(loadEvent.currentTarget.content);
}

startLoad("some.swf");

I want to be able to name the swf that gets loaded... right now it is just
getting a random name like: instance77

How can I name it?
