Thanks a lot for your time Tyler Wright. That helped a lot! I have implemented your suggestion. singleton. everything is great. My controller loads in the swfs that make up the diff parts of the app. The only disconnect is that all swfs have to agree to implement their ui using ... for example .... the name 'obj'. var obj:Someclass obj = Someclass.getInstance();
then my controller can target that class in any swf by using the mc that it loaded the swf into and calling mc.obj.getInstance().doSomething(); or just mc.obj.doSomething(); Does that make sense or am I missing something? If the above does make oop sense I now have a controller that loads in swfs and can then create pointers, if needed, to the main UI object in each swf. The only problem I see is forcing the use of an agreed upon name. Thanks again!
