Thanks, that did it!
One thing that's a little odd: This compiles:
[Embed(source="MyIcon.swf")]
public static const MyIcon:Class;
but this:
import mx.core.MovieClipLoaderAsset;
[Embed(source="MyIcon.swf")]
public class MyIcon extends MovieClipLoaderAsset {
...
gives an "Unable to transcode MyIcon.swf" compiler error.
This is not a big deal, I should be able to work around it, but I wonder why I
can embed the SVG file in that manner, extending SpriteAsset, but not the SWF.
The Flex 3 Developer's guide says that when you embed a SWF file the class
created is a subclass of mx.core.MovieClipLoaderAsset. I called describeType
with an instancof the the MyIcon class that represented the embedded SWF, and
it shows that indeed it is a subclass of MovieClipLoaderAsset.
