Another way would be to check if there's a parentDomain (using loaderInfo).
It's a bit more complicated though (well, just more code)..
import flash.system.ApplicationDomain;
import flash.display.LoaderInfo;
import flash.events.Event;
function initHandler(e:Event):void {
trace("Application ::: initHandler");
trace((e.currentTarget as LoaderInfo).applicationDomain.parentDomain);
}
this.loaderInfo.addEventListener(flash.events.Event.INIT, initHandler);
When not loaded into another swf will return null, otherwise returns an
ApplicationDomain instance
