Hi Jason thanks for your help! Ive added what you said but the event listeners
do not seam to to be hearing the dispatched event.
main_site is the document class for main_site.fla, and is loaded into
'gallery.swf' using this code...
// CODE from within FUNCTION
var swfLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var swfURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filename);
swfLoader.load (swfURL);
swfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
swfLoadComplete);
// CODE from within 'swfLoadComplete' FUNCTION
addChild(ev.target.content);
var loader:LoaderInfo = LoaderInfo(ev.target);
loader.content.x = 0;
loader.content.y = 0;
ive tried adding these but they do not work....
loader.content.name = "main_site";
...and...
loader.content.instanceName = "main_site";
The EventDispatcher is imported (the whole import flash.events.*; are imported).
Thanks
SJM

Is main_site the name of the instance? It doesn't seem like it if you
are getting that error. Does it also import EventDispatcher or at
least, extend it? Depending on where the code sits, you could do:
this.addEventListener instead of main_site - main_site should be an
instance name - you cannot listen to events from non-instances.
