You can't, directly. A SWF8 loaded into a SWF9 ends up being an AVM1Movie Object. You can't cast this as a MovieClip. I tried casting it and got a failure during type coersion.
The two SWFs can only talk via LocalConnection, or through ExternalInterface. You could implement a class on each side to handle the conversation through ExternalInterface so that it behaves like two SWF8s. Of course ExternalInterface requires that you implement code in the container/browser.

My problem is that the "content" property of a Loader object returns me a display object but not a movieclip. I tried casting but my application crashes when I try to run it. Any ideas?
