You can set variables or call functions on SWF's that have been loaded
through the Loader class.
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
function setVars( event ) {
event.target.content.xmlFile = "cover.xml";
event.target.content.progressColor = "0xCCCCCC";
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Loader id="slideshow" source="slideshow.swf" complete="setVars(
event )"/>
The question is will these variables be set before the first frame is
called on the SWF. If not try progress instead of complete event.
