Michael, No, you have that backwards, but it's a similar problem -- the _global.Application class _isn't_ overwritten. The flash player operates a class cache -- it always stores (and uses) the first class of a particular classpath/name that it encounters.
So in your case, when swfA loads, Flash caches a class called com.UserInterface.Application, and uses _that same class_ when swfB loads, ignoring swfB's implementation. Every attempt on your part beyond that point to refer to Application() will refer to swfA's version. You can get around this (as a hack) by calling delete _global.__Packages.com.UserInterface.Application; before loading swfB. Then swfB will use its own version of Application. But then swfA will have problems - it's not a brilliant solution in your case. What you really need is to separate the classpaths out in the way that you suggest. That'll certainly fix it.

Hi Flashcoders, Can somebody confirm my worst suspicions (think I am answering my own question here) swfA loads swfB Both swfs are compiled from separate classpaths but share a similar class structure, so swfA compiles classes like swfAProject/com/UserInterface/Application.as swfAProject/com/UserInterface/UIButton.as and swfB compiles swfBProject/com/UserInterface/Application.as swfBProject/com/UserInterface/UIButton.as I'm presuming that when swfB is loaded the _global.Application class is overwritten? As when I do this the whole thing spins off into 100% CPU hell. To separate these out will I need to restructure them to be...? CommonProject/com/A/UserInterface/Application.as CommonProject/com/B/UserInterface/Application.as (intergrating the code is not an option at this point). What would people suggest as best practice here? Apologies if this is a bit of a newb question on OO.
