I think it should just be -externs=AlertPuller. What does AlertPuller.as look like? What does the link-report reference that you want to get rid of look like? Is there any reason you have to also define that class in the childSWF?

That makes sense to me, since AlertPuller is compiled into parentSWF already, and -load-externs does not knock out the 8k in the first place. Are you sure that this is possible? That we can use an exclude option for images embedded in classes? Perhaps I need to directly embed the image in parentSWF, then use... -externs parentSWFApp? But I think I'm missing something here. --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Are you sure that it isn't that the grandChildSWF didn't see classes in > childSWF?
