Hello All, For the longest time, I've been wondering why 2 Loader Controls, are unable to share the same content. Then again this may be by design, and my lack of knowledge relating to Flex could be why I don't understand this.
For example, I have a SWFLoader Control which comprises the majority of my Application's desktop. It displays a loaded Map, in which users can drag icons onto the desktop, pan, zoom, as well as many other functions. I have a small navigator window that stays on top in a static position, in which the same content displayed in the SWFLoader, also gets displayed in the Navigator Control. The Navigator Control just gives the user an indication of the Map portion being displayed in the main window. In order to avoid having to load the SWF File TWICE, I thought I could set the "content" property of the Navigator Control, to the "SWFLoader.contentLoaderInfo.content" property - but when I do this, the loaded SWF disappears from the main screen, and appears in the small Navigator Window. Is this literally how things work in Flex? 2 "data aware" components can share the same ArrayCollection for their dataProvider Property, but 2 "graphical display" components, cannot share the same "content"? I would be grateful to hear the experts explanation on how this type of thing works within Flex. Thanks in advance for all your incredible help, Mike
