Ok. Trying to load a swf and manipulate it’s contents:

```auto

 public class Main extends MovieClip
 {
  
  private var splashScreenStage:SplashScreen;
  
  public function Main():void
  {
   var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("assets/splash.swf");
   var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);
   
   var loader:Loader = new Loader();
            loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, splashLoaderComplete);
            loader.load(request, context);
   
  }
  
  private function splashLoaderComplete(evt:Event):void{
   
   splashScreenStage = evt.target.content as SplashScreen;
   addChild(splashScreenStage);
  }
 }

```

But I get a security error. Funny thing though, if I place the swf I want to load (splash.swf) into the root directory, everything loads fine.

So here’s the environment I’m authoring in:

Flash Develop 3 Beta 2  
Actionscript Project  
compiling with Flex 2.01 SDK

I just don’t understand the sandbox violation stuff. Never delved into it until now. Could someone offer some direction?
