Another workaround that I've been using is to use the loading swf as
wrapper for the movieClip I ultimately want to display on the stage.
Create the content you want to use as movieClip symbol in your swf, export
for actionscript, no need to put it on the stage, and give it a class
name. Now you can load the wrapper swf. As soon as you do all the classes
in that wrapper will be available throughout your project and you can
access them by name. Untested e-mail code:
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, loaderInit);
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pageSource);
loader.load(request);
private function loaderInit(event:Event):void{
var myClass:Class = getDefinitionByName("myClassInMySwf") as Class;
var newClip:MovieClip = new myClass();
newClip.name = "test";
addChild(newClip);
}
This way you can create a library of swfs that you can load in and use as
required. If you make two libraries with the class internally named the
same then you can change up your app just by loading in a different
"library" swf.

I want to rename the content because I need to be able to access it
later using getChildByName("test");
But since its not possible, I think I'll have to make my classes dynamic
and do this instead :
private function loaderInit(event:Event):void{
event.target.removeEventListener(Event.INIT, loaderInit);
this["test"] = event.target.content;
addChild( this["test"] );
}
