So I know how to load my external .swf into my current .swf (at runtime):

```auto

swfLoader = new Loader();
swfLoader.load(new URLRequest(piece.swfPath));

```

Once it’s done loading I get a runtime error (null object reference within the loaded swf). I’m using flash player 10 and the external swf is published in FP10.
