Hello!

I have an AS1 swf movie (I also have the .fla), but it has a lot of code and frames. I don’t want to make the translation to AS3 and remake the entire project. It would take me time.

The AS1 swf is perfect and I just want to load it as external swf into an as3 project.  
The stand-a-lone AS1 swf works just fine.

Unfortunately, when I load it like this:

"var myLoader:Loader = new Loader(); var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(“content.swf”);  
myLoader.load(url);  
addChild(myLoader);

myLoader.x = 100;  
myLoader.y = 100;"

It only loads the graphically part, but the interaction and a lot of other components of AS1 swf are down (they don’t work).

Also, I have no error.

How could I just load the external AS1 swf into AS3 in proper conditions?

Thank you!
