 Same as if it was a mc that you hadn't loaded separately.

It is never a good idea to just cast to MovieClip. Cast to the real 
class of the object. Or at least an interface that you know that it will 
implement.


Do note that there are complications regarding having multiple 
definitions of the same class and so on when loading swf files.
