loading robotlegs project (swf) into robotlegs project

Hello! I want to load robotlegs project (swf file) into main robotlegs project. I don't need any connection between them. Main robotlegs project will call some public function in swf file. When I try to load an swf file in main project the ContextEvent.STARTUP_COMPLETE event fires from loaded swf and triggers startup command in main project again. What is the correct approach to load swf file into robotlegs project? Please...

   the ContextEvent.STARTUP_COMPLETE event fires from loaded swf and triggers startup command in main project again

   Hello Perconte,

   That shouldn't happen. Each application has its own, isolated event dispatcher so dispatching STARTUP_COMPLETE on one should not affect the other at all.

   However it's possible that mediators mapped in the main application are attaching to views present in the loaded swf (if the loaded swf is being added "inside" the main application's contextView). So, I would take a look into that and see if this is causing any unintended side effects.

   Hi Perconte and Shaun,

   the ContextEvent.STARTUP_COMPLETE event fires from loaded swf and triggers startup command in main project again

   That happens indeed, when the settings for the ApplicationDomain look like in Usage C from the following example:

   http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/18_Client_System_Environment_...

   Usage A:
   var appDomainA:ApplicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain();

   Usage B:
   var appDomainB:ApplicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;

   Usage C: „This technique lets loaded modules share the loader's singleton objects and static class members.“

   var appDomainC:ApplicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);

   var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, appDomainC);
   var loader:Loader=new Loader();
   loader.loadBytes(urlLoader.data, context);
   container.addChild(loader);

   Thank you Shaun for the respond! Silly to admit but I forgot to set ApplicationDomain when loading the swf file. So the loaded swf file was using the classes with the same name from the main project as they had the same namespace :) So it caused unpredictable behavior. Maybe it will help someone too.
