I don't use loaders - I use modules. Here is a quick and dirty example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical" creationComplete="onCreationComplete()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ private function onCreationComplete():void { currentModule.url = "TestModule.swf"; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:VBox width="100%" height="100%" paddingTop="0" paddingBottom="0" paddingLeft="0" paddingRight="0"> <mx:ModuleLoader id="currentModule" width="100%" height="100%"/> </mx:VBox> </mx:Application>
TestModule.mxml <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Module xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.controls.Alert; private function onButtonClick(event:MouseEvent):void { Alert.okLabel = "I didn't mean to"; Alert.buttonWidth = 120; Alert.show("Why did you click this button?"); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Button label="Don't click this button!" click="onButtonClick(event)"/> </mx:Module> --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Mehdi" <elextra...@...> wrote: > > I am getting to the conclusion that the following is not supported at all.

Attempt to see the content of the combo or click on the button to see the Alert from the loaded SWF, and you get an exception.

The TestCombo.swf is not even loaded.
