Alright, so from using both my Actionscript 3 Bible and a friendly tutorial here on Kirupa… and another online, I attempted to create a class to load an .swf. I worked through the Kirupa tutorial, and it worked, but I wanted it to be in a class! This is where the problems come, when I run it, I get no errors, the bar flashes as if it’s full, and it loads the content. When I try to simulate download however, the screen stays white and I receive an error  
“Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2036: Load Never Completed.”

Does anyone know what might be causing this/how to fix?

Also, It’s been quite a long time since I have posted here, so if anyone could tell me the tags for code, I would greatly appreciate it!

Until then,
