...whoa... so, if I have an MC inside of the Flash 8 SWF, I can in fact run code through a Flash Player 8.5 SWF?  Can you post your example somewhere, this would be really valuable!

Yes, I was able to successfully call a setter property.  I put arbitrary code in the function and it worked out fine.  The only gotcha is that the getter/setter must be attached to a MovieClip instance inside the SWF.  So you have to associate a class with a library MC, place it on the stage and give it an instance name.  Then in the Flex code:

var swf: MovieClip = MovieClip(myloader.content);
var mc: MovieClip = MovieClip(swf.getChildByName("myMC"));
mc.myText = "xxx";   //setter

I'm really hoping there's an easier way....or this gets fixed in the next release.

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.

I'm actually trying to do something similar.  What I've found so far should be able to help you.  You need to load the SWF via the Loader component and then use its content property:

<mx:Loader id="myloader" source=" SimpleSWF.swf" complete="onComplete()"/>

private function onComplete(): void
{
   var swf: MovieClip = MovieClip(myloader.content);
   swf.gotoAndPlay(...);
}

My problem is that I can't access additional methods/properties that are declared in the loaded swf.  I've seen a Flex 1.5 example where you can just go ahead and call those methods on the MovieClip instance, but that doesn't seem to work in Flex 2.  I've tried casting it to an Object to get around the compiler, but I just end up with a runtime error.

what I want to do is load a .SWF file and control the timeline of this movieclip, with gotoAndPlay, etc...
but i don't know how to load it
