[flexcoders] Re: ModuleLoader.child is null
In your module code I don't see where it implements
com.storefront.interfaces.controller.ITest. If there is no implementation of
the interface, the child will be null.

The module implements ITest. Regardless, before the module is cast to an
interface, this._moduleLoader.child is null. I read on another thread that the
module 'ready' event may be dispatched before it's ready...

[flexcoders] Re: ModuleLoader.child is null
I do it a different way than you which you may like to try...
private function onReady(e:ModuleEvent):void
{
var ml:ModuleLoader = e.target as ModuleLoader;
// cast the module (the child property of the ModuleLoader) to the
// ITest interface. If the child implements this interface
// ichild will not be null.
var ichild:* = ml.child as ITest;
if(ichild != null)
{
// Pass data to module via interface
ichild.somedataiwanttopass = this.thedataiwanttopass;
}
}
Using this I have never found the child to be null (Although I do
check).

[flexcoders] Re: ModuleLoader.child is null
Perhaps you're getting an error on load; probably due to the path. Try adding
an event listener for ModuleEvent.ERROR.
Also, this line is missing an equal sign:
var test:ITest ITest(this._moduleLoader.child);
Should be:
var test:ITest = ITest(this._moduleLoader.child);

The ModuleEvent.READY listener is executing, the path is correct.
var test:ITest ITest(this._moduleLoader.child);
This was a typo. this._moduleLoader.child is still null here though. I get the
same problem using mx and spark ModuleLoader. So unless someone can spot the
problem, I'm going to use SWFLoader...

RE: [flexcoders] Re: ModuleLoader.child is null
The module loads fine in a simple testbed, but in this particular larger

Same. I gave up on all the quirks and pains and limitations of Flex Modules and
went with loading in separate .swfs calling them an interface. Worked just as
well, and I felt more in control.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: ModuleLoader.child is null
Can you post link-reports for the main app and the module? The implication is
that the factory.create() didn’t work because the module’s class definition is
not in the module swf.
