That's a bug. It won't throw an exception in 3.0 version of the integration kit, but requires that you use 3.0.
Please file a bug for this issue. A workaround for 2.x would be to wrap the UIMovieClip in a UIComponent and run the effect on the UIComponent wrapper. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Roy J.

Is there another way, or the actionscript is really not exported in the SWC? --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Stephen Roy J.
