Hello,

So I’m working with assets I’m loading in from another swf (using Loader and applicationDomain and such). However, I’d like to be able to have a guide layer (or something) that shows outlines of those assets while not having them in my library (in the IDE, so I can easily position stuff). Is this possible? I’m thinking not, but I still have hope that there might be a way.

TIA
