[flexcoders] How do i embed a SWF in AS3?

[Clark Stevenson]

Hey all,

The title says it all. I know how to embed a symbol from a SWF, but
everything i try when trying to embed a complete SWF fails:


[Embed(source="assets/some.swf", mimeType="application/octet-stream")]
private var MySWF:Class;


var movie:MovieClip = new MySwf() as MovieClip


This does not work which is slightly obvious as its a octet stream.


So now i use a loader and try loadByes(new MySWF() as ByteArray)


This tells me .swf contains invalid data.


So i have no idea how to embed a SWF. Can anyone give me some help?


Cheers,

Clark.
