Thanks Bruno and Doug, This is on the right track (though I still do not know why this worked in beta 1 with out all this extra code).
Bruno, your code worked for me fine (flex 2 version of Doug's idea). When I load my inner app, the content resizes perfectly (see inner app below). The only trouble I am having now it a basic problem that anyone could probably help me with. The event listener for the 'resize' is still being called from the shell when I try to load a second inner app. I have been trying to use removeListener but do not seam to find an event that lets me know when the first inner app is being removed (or unloaded). I have tried to call unload() on the instance of the Loader app in the shell app and keep getting the error 'Call to a possibly undefined method 'unLoad' through a reference with static type 'mx.controls:Loader' Is there an event I can make the inner app listen for that tells me that it is being removed when I load a new inner app (or is it being removed)? Thanks Ross P.S. Bruno, as for your question, using your code and the fact that my inner apps scale using the layout anchors, I did not have to talk to the inner app from the shell app. I have tried using the LoaderInstanceName.content.propertyInInnerApp and I can not get around the same compliler error as stated above. Thanks for your help.
