Help: Custom Event propagation through Loader

programming flash
1

Hello all,

  [FONT=Helvetica]I use a custom event with public message vars to send messages and triggers in AS3.  It's great, however, I cannot get it to propagate an event from a loaded SWF via Loader to my main objects.  Below is pcode for the problem case:[/FONT]


  new Loader();
  Loader.addEventListener(GENERAL_EVENT,handleGeneral);
    or
  Loader.content.addEventListener(GENERAL_EVENT,handleGeneral);
    or
  Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(GENERAL_EVENT,handleGeneral);
  Loader.load("mySwf.swf");

… then mySwf.swf dispatches a GeneralEvent


  function handleGeneral(e:GeneralEvent) {
     trace("HEARD GENERAL EVENT") // NEVER HEARS IT
  }

[FONT=Helvetica]I never hear the event. It’s as if there is a event “firewall” between a loaded SWF and Loader’s parent. The GeneralEvent class works great in all other cases where the objects are not Loaders.[/FONT]

[FONT=Helvetica]Any ideas?[/FONT]

[FONT=Helvetica]Thanks,[/FONT]
