Re: [Flashcoders] onLoadInit failure
Loading SWFs that import shared library items using a MovieClipLoader is also problematic. Are the SWFs that you are loading importing shared library items?

[Flashcoders] onLoadInit failure
Thanks for the feedback Mike. I was vainly hoping it wasn't due to the crap factor. I will add movieClipLoader to the list of Flash components that can't quite deliver . ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
RE: [Flashcoders] onLoadInit failure
The MovieCLip Loader events do not fire off correctly in IE when the content has been cached and IE is set to check for updates "Automatically" or "Never". It's utter crap.
