Hi Alex, Thanks for responding. All of my SWFs are local. I output my host swf to the default \bin directory, I then place my module.swf in that same directory. And when I specify the url to load within the host SWF, I use just the name of the module swf:
modLoader.url = "module.swf"; Where modLoader is an instance of mx:ModuleLoader within the host.swf mxml application. Any thoughts? Is the common practice to build and debug modules to place them in another directory or to specify a full local filesystem path to the module.swf? --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Local swfs can't get to remote modules.
