SWFLoader will load any SWF from any URL. What problems did you run into?

I have tried "SWFLoader" solution, but it seems only loading local swf file, not an external one referred by an URL. For the "rawChildren" solution, I can add loader object indeed, but how should I handle sizing issue? For example, I want to add this loader into a titleWindow and make it resizable together with its container? It seems not a easy thing. Anyway, my project requires to load external swf into the main canvas, as an way for user to add their own "plug-ins". What is the best way for this? Thanks again. lei --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Or use SWFLoader > > > > ________________________________ > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> ] On > Behalf Of Arpit Mathur > Sent: Friday, October 19, 2007 3:57 PM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> > Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Can not add a "Loader" object to a container > > > > this.rawchildren.addChild(loader) > > > > Containers can only add Flex components to the displaylist.
