I tried setting a local connection between an as2 swf, that is loaded into an as3 swf. that works great.  
but… if the as2 swf loads another swf, that also loads another as2 swf, and those two have components, the components are not loaded. and my as2 event listners don’t work properly either…

and i don’t want to convert all of my as2 files…that’s crazy.

any idea?☹

thanks in advance
