Are the globes Flex 2.x Apps? If they are Flash 8 swfs you may not get INIT.

So, I assume I have to externalize and internalize play/stop methods, because I notice SWFLoader doesn't have play or stop methods. Sorry if I sound like a luddite in this area because this is the first time I've ever tried to access a swf using the system manager. I noticed that the init event doesn't trigger, so I am probably doing this wrong: var swf:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader(); swf.x = x-7; swf.id = "globe"+_swfIndex; swf.width=30; swf.height=30; swf.y = y-7; swf.scaleX=.5; swf.scaleY=.5; swf.filters = [new GlowFilter (0x4A88C6,1.0,8.0,8.0,2,3,false,false)]; swf.source = _globe; swf.addEventListener(Event.INIT,onSWFCreation); _myUIComponent.addChild(swf); makeLabel(x,y,s,u); _swfIndex++; ... private function onSWFCreation(e:Event){ trace ("target",e.currentTarget.id); loadedSM = SystemManager(e.currentTarget.id.content); } Thanks,Patrick
