Just to update the group, I figured this out and below is a brief description.
STEP 1 - Flex Component Kit Export SWC from Flash using Flex Component Kit. STEP 2 - Flex Module Project include the SWC in a Flex project and enable the -load-externs=report.xml compiler option. I also created an interface, IFlashComponent that has one function getMc():UIMovieClip which returns the symbol in the SWC as a UIMovieClip. The module implements this interface. STEP 3 - Flex Application Project This is the application that loads the SWF Module from STEP2. I used the -link-report=report.xml to generate the link report from STEP1. I added <mx:ModuleLoader id="ml" /> tag and following some user gesture I set the url to the SWF from STEP2 to load it. To access the UIMovieClip from Flash in STEP 1. I used (ml.child as IFlashComponent).getMc() to get the UIMovieClip. In summary, I can now change the state, trigger transitions etc. Just like the Flex Component Kit examples explain. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "swidnikk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Maybe I should clarify.
