okay, thanks...that works for loading a swf at runtime if the SWFLoader has no assigned source. However, if the SWFLoader has an assigned source and you try to change it during runtime, then LC doesn't work anymore.
That comes back to your last comment about garbage collection and the original swf not being cleaned up before the new one is loaded, i tried to research what you meant but as far i could tell all I could do in flex was to set the SWFLoader source to ="" before loading the next swf. I could not find any "unload" methods.
