Access class inside loaded SWF

Hello

I have a problem i can’t really figure out. Here’s the case.
I have a .fla with a document class. Inside the documentClass i load another SWF. The SWF loaded has objects with Classes linked. Like: “com.menu.item”.
When i have loaded the SWF i can access the objects through the following from my documentClass:

import com.menu.item;
var _item: item = new item()
addChild(_item)

This works fine and i can see the object being added. The problem is that the object has a timeline and that timeline doesn’t work. A simple stop is not triggered. It just loops.

If i do the same within a documentClass on the loaded SWf, the stop() works.

Anyone have an idea how to fix that?

Any help appreciated
Regards
Rick
