@Eric,

I try to follow this, but it throws an error:

TypeError: Error #1007: Instantiation attempted on a non-constructor.
        at Test()

What am I doing wrong?

Subject: [Flashcoders] Re: timeline methods fail on embedded swf

Apologies, I messed up my code in the original email (used "new
element" instead of the correct "new embed"). Corrected code here:

package {

       import flash.display.*

       public class Test extends MovieClip {

               [Embed(source="embed.swf")]
               public var embed:Class;

               public function Test():void {
                       var m:MovieClip = MovieClip(addChild(new embed()));
                       m.stop(); // fails
                       m.y=100; // works
               }

       }

}
