Please Help!!!  
If an AS 2.0 swf is loaded into a AS 3.0 swf, does it, the AS 2.0 swf, lose the capability of loading in other AS 2.0 swfs? I am trying this right now, and none of the movie loading functions are working (e.g. loadMovie,loadMovieNum,MovieClipLoader.loadClip). I am however, able to load XML files into the AS 2.0 swf.

Any Ideas on why this isn’t working? I’m trying to display a prexisting AS 2.0 application inside of a Flex Application.
