This demo shows how to use ActionScript 3.0 to load an external "swf" file and communicate with objects inside the file dynamically. This is accomplished by using the LoaderInfo object.

The LoaderInfo object is used when the Loader object's "load()" method is called. Data associated with the "loading" file is stored in a LoaderInfo object.

The data is accessed by using an Event Listener:

loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);

function onComplete(e:Event):void{

trace(e.target)

}
