hi,  
so i have a loader that loads .swf documents created with flashpaper 2. has anyone else had a load of problems with these swfs breaking nearly everything (especially the event handler for mouse clicks) when displaying these in a mx.component.Loader ?

i read that you must use the \_lockroot property with these swfs, which i have been doing but it’s not working predictably or consistently.

not all the time, but often, the close button which fires the following events on click:

loader.\_lockroot = false;  
loader.unloadMovie();

doesn’t do what it is supposed to do and you have to hold in the mouse button for the click event to be processed. very annoying and i cannot figure out how to fix it to save my life.

please help!
