Hello,

I have a AS2 loader (buil in AS2 that is) that automatically loads external swf’s.  
And I have a sfw build in AS3.  
Is it possible for my loader to still load this swf file?

In order for the loader to work I have to add “\_root.nextswf();” at the end of every swf file.  
However I know that in AS3 the alnguage is different.  
IF it is possible to load an AS3 swf into a AS2 loader then: is there any code to replace this one?

Thank you,
