Thanks everyone, I ended up using this code successfully:
private function laodMySWF():void {
// load the file with URLLoader into a bytearray
var loader:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
// binary format since it a SWF
loader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSWFLoaded);
//load the file
loader.load(new URLRequest("/swfs/welcome_16_9.swf"));
}
private function onSWFLoaded(e:Event):void {
// remove the event
var loader:URLLoader=URLLoader(e.target);
loader.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onSWFLoaded);
// add an Application context and allow bytecode execution
var context:LoaderContext=new LoaderContext();
context.allowLoadBytesCodeExecution=true;
// set the new context on SWFLoader
loader1.loaderContext = context;
loader1.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);
// load the data from the bytearray
loader1.load(loader.data);
}
// your load complete function
private function loadComplete(completeEvent:Event):void {
trace("loadComplete: completeEvent.target.content " +
completeEvent.target.content);
mySwfMc = loader1.content as MovieClip;
loader1.content.addEventListener("MessageFromFlash", doSomething);
}
