Hey,  
I’m loading several SWFs onto the stage, and I have to use some of them more than once at the same time. Instead of loading each SWF over and over again, is there any way to define the loaded files as classes, so I can re-use them efficiently?  
Or maybe I’m just doing this all wrong… 🙂

Thanks!
