Not sure when you tried the code that didn't work, but application is not available right away

I was able to do this (on application complete in the host): loadedApp = event.target.application as Application; loadedApp["configid"] = "Default"; and see the value in the loaded application. public function set configid(id:String):void { this.config_id = id; } I was also able to pass a parameter in the url, and access it in the loaded app's creationComplete via this.parameters["config_id"] (not Application.application.parameters["config_id"] But I have not been able to get this to work: loadedApp = event.target.application as Application; if(!loadedApp) throw new Error(); loadedApp.parameters["config_id"] = "Default"; Loaded app's onCreationComplete() this.config_id = Application.application.parameters["config_id"]; On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 6:35 AM, Amy <amyblankens...@bellsouth.net<mailto:amyblankens...@bellsouth.net>> wrote: --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com<mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com>, Richard Rodseth <rrods...@...> wrote: > > I'm experimenting with loading sub applications using SWFLoader.

Have you thought about just setting up getters and setters on your base class and calling those? This doesn't use getters and setters, but a getter or setter is just a function, so you can see how it would work: http://flexdiary.blogspot.com/2009/01/example-of-casting-contets-of- swfloader.html
