Paul - having looked at what we're doing in our work setup, one major
difference is this:
Instead of _loading_ the AS2ProxySWF (via Loader), we embed it as an
asset straight into AS3 and create it on the fly, adding it to the
display tree.
This may be why our stuff is more robust.
MovieClipLoader _definitely_ works properly in our AS2ProxySWF.
I think it might be worth a try; you never know, it might cure a bunch
of problems.
