I'm loading a swf into a SWFLoader (earth-shattering, I know). The swf document size itself is set 2800x960, but there is an additional element beneath this in the pasteboard (what was the flash 8 "workarea") that is about 500px in length. I need to be able to pan down to this element. If make a call to set the y value of the SWFLoader to -500 (to pan downward) the area above it hovers above my flex components instead of going underneath.
I went a step further and wrapped the swfLoader in a Canvas object. Setting the y value to -500 on the MXML object did just what I wanted to. I then began setting this dynamically, which produces the same results as before. I also tried to run validateDisplayList() hoping it would fix things but to no avail. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)
