I have a Flash app made up of AS3 components that I am trying to run in Flex.

In Flash, after the main component is added to the stage, the loader object (loaderInfo.loader) is null which is fine and I handle that.

The same exact code in Flex has different results. On the _applicationComplete_ event I add the the main component to the stage and the loader object’s getter throws an exception - _Error #2099: The loading object is not sufficiently loaded to provide this information_.

Also, the INIT event, which is supposed to be dispatched when the properties and methods of a loaded SWF file are accessible, does not appear to be firing which is probably part of the problem. But I can’t figure out why it is not being dispatched.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
