Sorry for the late reply. Modify the example so the SWFLoader line looks
like this:
<mx:SWFLoader id="myLoader" width="300"
source="local.swf"
creationComplete="initNestedAppProps();"/>
This loads the SWF at runtime, rather than embedding it. The example
shuld now work.

Subject: [flexcoders] "Embedding Swf files" Help sample broken. Need to
refer to symbols at runtime.
I need to load swf's that include many symbols which I need to reference
dynamically at runtime.
I am able to embed and link to symbols whose name I know at compile time
using:
[Embed(source='shapes.swf', symbol='greenSquare')] [Bindable] public var
imgCls:Class;
I won't know some of my symbol names until runtime.
In the Help page "Embedding SWF files" there is an example of
referencing a symbol by using a string parameter:
The heart of it is:
----
public var loadedSM:SystemManager;
[Bindable]
public var loadedLabel:Label;
// Initialize variables with information from
// the loaded application.
private function initNestedAppProps():void {
loadedSM = SystemManager(myLoader.content);
loadedLabel = loadedSM.application["lblOne"];
}
---
When I run the example I get a type conversion error at this line:
loadedSM = SystemManager(myLoader.content);
(Droog3 is the project name.)
---
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to
mx.managers.SystemManager.
at Droog3/::initNestedAppProps()
at Droog3/__myLoader_creationComplete()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at mx.core::UIComponent/set initialized()
at mx.managers::LayoutManager/::doPhasedInstantiation()
at mx.core::UIComponent/::callLaterDispatcher2()
at mx.core::UIComponent/::callLaterDispatcher()
---
Did the example get broken by the move to beta 3? Did type conversion
rules for the SystemManager get more strict?
I'd love any help with this. Again, I need to get at a symbol using a
string parameter, as in the example:
loadedSM.application["lblOne"];
Thanks.
