Hello all. This is a problem in Flash, actually, not Flex, but i think it might behave the same in Flex. Here's the scenario: I have 4 SWF files: main.swf, platform.swf, pluginLoader.swf and plugin.swf. pluginLoader.FLA and plugin.FLA are in the same folder, and share some of the classes. At this point, they only share a PluginEvent class. The flow is this: main.swf loads platform.swf; platform.swf loads pluginLoader.swf; pluginLoader.swf loads the plugin.swf and here the crazy stuff begins: 1. plugin.swf adds a listener for a PluginEvent event 2. pluginLoader.swf dispatches a PluginEvent event (both swf files use the same file, from the same namespace) 3. Type coercion failed error occures.
One fix I found was to specifi the application domain when using loader.load, and use ApplicationDomain.currentDomain, but that's not working. Here's the loading code: var pluginLoaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(); pluginLoaderContext.applicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain); var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(pluginURL); pluginLoader.load(mRequest, pluginLoaderContext); To top it off, if the pluginLoader.swf and plugin.swf are on the same domain, everything works. If they're on different domains, the type coercion appears. Should I use another ApplicationDomain? Any help would be appreciated.
