Have you successfully set a getter/setter property?   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jason Y. Kwong To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 3:08 PM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] embed a movieclip Ok, I found something interesting about this.  You can actually access properties in the loaded swf but trying to call a function messes up.  The function is actually there, but it isn't recognized as a function.  For example, my Flash8 swf has a function named "callMe".  I load this into my Flex2 app and then trace " swf.callMe" and I actually get "[object Object]".  But if try to call it via swf.callMe(), I get a runtime error: Call attempted on an object that is not a function. Ironically, you can actually access getter/setter functions.  Since they're considered properties, I guess they're good to go.  It's a useable workaround at this point. On 2/8/06, Jason Y.
