Hi, I too am having difficulties with loading modules in apollo. Please correct me if i'm wrong but it seems that the current behaviour is that only local swfs placed and referenced from the app-storage directory can be loaded as modules?
Here's a bit of code to test. First, make a regular Flex project and make a class called ApolloModule.as that extends ModuleBase. I use the generated ApolloModule-debug.swf for testing. The class is empty. Next, make an apollo app. put the code at the end of this message inside an mx:Script tag in your main mxml file and add creationComplete="init()" Uncomment the different values for "path" to see which ones load the module and which ones don't. There may be incorrect carriage returns in the variable assignment, so ... It seems that the ModuleLoader will load swfs inside app-resources and not complain with "SWF is not a loadable module". I think this is specified somewhere in the Understanding Apollo Security (http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Apollo:Documentation:Understanding_Apollo_security), but I'm not totally certain. The reason for my uncertainty is that passing a relative url using ".." then you won't get an error. If anybody can clarify this I'd really appreciate it. thanks /r http://www.searchcoders.com/flex/search/apollo+modules ---- START CODE HERE -------------------- import flash.filesystem.File; import mx.events.ModuleEvent; import mx.modules.ModuleManager; import mx.modules.IModuleInfo; import mx.modules.ModuleBase; public function init():void { var path:String = ""; // --- THESE DON'T WORK // * Doesn't work, SWF is not a loadable module //path = "c:/work/searchcoders/ApolloModuleLoader/ApolloModule-debug.swf"; // * Doesn't work (URL NOT FOUND app-resource:/app-resource ...) //path = "app-resource:../ApolloModule-debug.swf"; // * Doesn't Work, SWF is not a loadable module //path = File.appStorageDirectory.resolve("ApolloModule-debug.swf").url; // * Doesn't work, SWF is not a loadable module // this path below is to an internal server with a // crossdomain.xml allowing access to "*" //path = "http://local.simple/ApolloModule-debug.swf";; // --- THESE WORK //path = "app-resource:/ApolloModule-debug.swf"; //path = "ApolloModule-debug.swf"; //path = "/ApolloModule-debug.swf"; //path = File.appResourceDirectory.resolve("ApolloModule-debug.swf").url; // --- THIS ONE WORKS!

" + module); } } ---- END CODE HERE -------------------- if anybody wants the original source file just let me know and i'll email it to you as an attachment.
