Thanks Alex - I think the problem in my search was that I didn't know when you
[Embed] a swf, it loaded the .swf into MovieClipLoaderAsset when the clip was
embedded into the .swf to begin with. So I would have never searched on that
term. Are you presenting at Max? I'd be interested in attending one of your

Sorry, didn't mean to be mean. I searched "embed swf moviecliploaderasset" and the third result was an example from colin moock that had the secret sauce in it. Definitely hunt me down at Max. I'll apologize in person, then get on your case about using all these sprites and movieclips in your app. :-) From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2008 1:33 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: .swf displays fine, but MovieClip methods fail >>I'm usually going to type as little as possible and hope you'll >>search for the 9 other times I've answered this question I tried searching for the answer here, Google, and the Flex docs, and didn't find it.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: .swf displays fine, but MovieClip methods fail
If something can't be done, I'll tell you, and it is rare that you can't do something, it is usually a matter of how hard. I'm usually going to type as little as possible and hope you'll search for the 9 other times I've answered this question, but just so it is in recent history: Someone should file an enhancement request to make a property on MCLA that exposes the internal SWF. Right now, you have to use getChildAt(0).content or something like that.

Thanks... so that explains why it doesn't work and that helps a little, but... umm... ok and?? What would I do to fix this? I'm trying to read between the lines - does this mean I can't do it this way and I need to instead load in the .swf and not embed, or that I just need to find a way to extract the actual movie clip out of MovieClipLoaderAsset? Thanks for any help, Jason
