Looks like both classes are treated as different entities, most likely due to application domain sandboxing. If that's the case, the definition of that class in both the parent and child swf don't match and so you get an coercion error.
Try passing a LoaderContext object with ApplicationDomain.current to the Loader. (From memory); var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false,ApplicationDomain.current); loader.load(request,context); Cheers Juan Pablo Califano 2009/8/14 Joel Stransky <[email protected]> > This I just don't get.
