BTW, I don't think the local/remote case is documented, but it falls out of the fact that Modules require a shared application domain topology, and local swfs cannot do "import" loads by specifying a securitydomain. The remote swf must have a separate securitydomain, which means it has a separate applicationdomain and thus modules won't work.
I don't know of any workaround other than loading the remote swf into a bytearray and calling loadbytes. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Harui Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 11:01 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: SWF is not a loadable module / crossdomain.xml woes Of both are local, do not fiddle with appdomain or securitydomain and it should work. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of innovativecode Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 7:23 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: SWF is not a loadable module / crossdomain.xml woes Thanks!
