IIRC, the XML and object methods of loading work completely differently. If you're using an object, you need to use "url" instead of "src". I think if you get that wrong it will fail without error. I also recall I had to "read between the lines" of their docs to figure that out. What I did with my component is that I had a setup() method that I called in the constructor that fed in some dummy data while I was still in the Flash environment. That way I could make sure everything was working before I exported the swc, and if I had a problem, the FlashLoaded engineers couldn't play the "don't support Flex" card. Just before I exported the swc, I'd comment out the setUp () call, and then I'd do the actual setup from Flex. HTH; Amy
