Firstly, I'm new to this list so hi!
I suspect your problem may be to do with the fact that you cannot use
library assets from one .swf in another.
>From your description, I understand that your "dndNodeDragger" asset is in
the library of the second swf - if this is true you will not be able to load
it into any timeline of the first swf. This is an intentional limitation in
Flash.
In a message yesterday, JesterXL pointed out that you can re-parent a movie
clip in Player 8.5 - I'm not sure how to do this but it may just provide a
workaround for this. I intend to investigate!
Hope this helps!
