Try opening in a window like you were, then cycling through the members in
the window movie's castLibs looking for a #flash member. Try this:
--
on extractMembers tType, dName
aWindow = window("probe")
aWindow.fileName = dName
tell aWindow
nLibs = the number of castLibs
repeat with l = 1 to nLibs
nMems = the number of members of castLib l
repeat with m = 1 to nMems
if member(m,l).type = tType then
tMedia = member(m,l).media
tell (the stage)
tMem = new(tType)
tMem.media = tMedia
end tell
end if
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
aWindow.forget()
end
--
call this function with something like this from your message window:
extractMembers(#flash, "flashMem")
