An embedded SWF is wrapped in a MovieClipLoader. There should be some old threads about how to dig into that to get to the actual SWF

I now have found a suggested workaround over at Grant Skinner's Blog, however, it's dependent upon all the code written on the timeline being put into a Class (this is how I interpreted the workaround). I'm going to look into probably using the Flash Component Tooklkit for Flex and seeing if the dev can wrap up the Flash stuff into a component and seeing where to go from there. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, "Fotis Chatzinikos" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hm, it seems that when embeded the compiler does not have enough info to see > if your variable is there or not (you mention that loading the swf > dynamically works)... > > I remember reading somewhere in this forum that there is a compiler flag > that makes things less strict and your error would get away, but... never > used it myself cannot remember the setting search the forum or google for it > > On Tue, Nov 11, 2008 at 8:10 PM, Todd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > The "symbol" that I'm trying to get out of Flash is a global Array > > defenition, so I'm not sure it's working.
