Hi Daniel, I found another solution for my problem and I am on a tough deadline so I won't investigate this more in the near future. BUT, my current solution also uses SWFMill and is also a tricky one I think.
I have got the main.swf which has several library items. These MovieClip-extending classes have to load external graphics which I can't load from the disk but have all to be in a library.swf. What I did: - Created a library.fla - added a FakeSymbol (linkage FakeSymbol) which is exported for runtimesharing - I dragged this Symbol into the main.fla library and also onto the stage to use the library.swf as a SharedLib - then I created a new library.swf with SWFMill which also includes a "FakeSymbol" with a transparent PNG The nice thing is that the main.swf accepts the newly created library.swf as a SharedLib and that's it. I did not expect this to work because I thought that the information that the library.swf has a Symbol which is exported for Runtime Sharing is essentiell. If you don't understand anything at all from what I am saying don't mind. I don't either ;) Thanks a lot for your support!
