Listener between two .swf files is a bit touchy

1

So I am going off of an example I believe was in the tip of the day thread, although I could be mistaken. It is a fairly trivial example (I removed the non-essential modifications I’ve been adding to this) for loading one movie from another. The problem I am having is when I click on the movie, I get a rather generic error:
Error #2044: Unhandled StatusEvent:. level=error, code=

I tried using some try-catch logic, but wasn’t able to figure out what the problem was. Any advice?


// FILE 1
// AS2animation.fla
// one movie clip animation named animation_mc on the timeline

// local connection instance to receive events
var AVM_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();

// stopAnimation event handler
AVM_lc.stopAnimation = function(){
animation_mc.stop();
}

// listen for events for "AVM2toAVM1"
AVM_lc.connect("AVM2toAVM1");


//FILE 2
// AS2loader.fla
import flash.net.LocalConnection;

// local connection instance to communicate to AVM1 movie
var AVM_lc:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();

// loader loads AVM1 movie
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("AS2animation.swf"));
addChild(loader);

// when AVM1 movie is clicked, call stopPlayback
loader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stopPlayback);


function stopPlayback(event:MouseEvent):void 
{
    // send stopAnimation event to "AVM2toAVM1" connection

        AVM_lc.send("AVM2toAVM1", "stopAnimation");
        trace("Should be stopping now");
}

Hmm, no ideas?
