Just gonna throw this out there, in case it was missed by someone who might be able to help.
SWF Loader in Flex App, loads initial swf and local connection works perfect to stop / play / pause swf. As soon as new swf is loaded into SWF Loader at runtime...local connection no longer works. I assume it is not the sending local connection as the event listener returns status (no errors). So i guess it might be swf Loader not loading swf properly or unloading previous swf...anyway gonna post the code so you all can see. The swf basically has actions layers with corresponding functions (stop function etc...) THANKS!
