Have any of you guys attempted to embed a library SWF and access the classes as it was an externally loaded SWF? If so, how is it done?

In an effort to make my game into a single SWF, I have no other option than to embed my external library SWF’s, the simplest of which is just an SWF full of images in the library.

My normal method is this

```php
public function loadSWF():void {
            var url:String = swfPath+queue[0];
            var current:ApplicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
            var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
            context.applicationDomain = current;
            //
            loader = new Loader();
            loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, SWFcomplete);
            loader.load(new URLRequest(url), context);
        }
        //
        private function SWFcomplete(e:Event):void {
            assetDomain = e.target.applicationDomain;
            loader.contentLoaderInfo.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, SWFcomplete);
            queue.shift();
            if (queue.length == 0) {
                finishLoading();
            } else {
                loadAssets();
            }
            //
        }

```

Then I can access the classes of an externally loaded SWF like this

```php
var currentDomain:ApplicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var modelClass:Class = currentDomain.getDefinition(className) as Class;

```

I embed it like this

```php

[Embed(source="assets/TextureLibrary.swf")]
private var textureLibrary:Class;

```

The embedded SWF is embedded as a “MovieClipLoaderAsset”, the thing is I just have no clue what to do with it, and how to access the classes it contains like the above method for an external SWF.

Any ideas?
