Again, how peculiar. I'd love to take a look at the internals of
MovieClip and Flash's loader system to see what's causing that
particular glitch!

Okay, weirder and weirder:
On my local machine loading from a local file, loading .swf v6 gives

On a remote machine loading from that same remote machine, loading

Oh, I should add - I get the same results when I throw the Fling code
out completely and write a simple loader from scratch.

So here's the deal... Back in the day before MovieClipLoader when you
wanted to load and external SWF, you had to check a

Wow, and I thought KP was only good with random()!

Hi Chris,
Having had a trawl through the source code, I see what you're
getting at. The fact that MovieAsset doesn't extend MovieClip is
nothing to do with the problem; MovieAsset wraps a MovieClip property
and passes that back, and that should
Hi Chris,
I've tried that (with a bit tweaking for syntax errors) and it all

However, I did have to

Oh, I should add, this is after I commented out the line:
if(targetMC instanceof MovieClip == false) targetMC.__proto__ = new MovieClip();
from MovieAssets - which I assume was your temporary hack to fix
things. It all works for me without this line.

Hi John,
Yeah, I've now tried it with a bunch of random downloaded movies and
managed to get some to fail.
I think I've nailed it - or at least, one thing that produces the problem.
At least on my system - if you load in a .swf version 7 or 8, it
works fine. If you load in a .swf version 6,
wow, no infact, that confuses me ;) I've been loading Flash8 and 7 files
and they've failed along with the version 6 swf's.
If I load the Fp8 version locally, it seems to work, but from a web server,
it seems to not.

Weird.
It's very reproducible here - I've tried varying sizes between 1Kb and
200Kb. They all fail if published to FP6, but work if published to FP7
and FP8 (the loader movie itself I've tested published to FP7 and
FP8).
I haven't tested a remote FP8 file, as I don't have one to hand.
Gonna
cool, thanks Ian, I'll try the same tests with published swf's
Really appreciate your help!
