I tried your first suggestion about reinstantiating the SWFLoader, but that doesn't seem to work. Here is my code in the init() function that gets called every time I want the SWF to replay:
tileFront = new SWFLoader(); tileFront.source = tile_Front; //(tileFront.content as MovieClip).gotoAndPlay(1); The commented line generates a "Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference" error, even though I clearly define its source on the previous line. I looked into your ByteArray method but I couldn't find enough documentation online to show how to do it.
