“If you’re loading from one domain to another, you may also need to include the SecurityDomain in the loader context.”

Alex, I tried this and it doesn’t work. It seems as though when a swf is loaded from another domain it is ALWAYS a new Application Domain and you can’t convert a class instance in the loaded swf as the same Class.

It is driving me mental. If anyone knows a solution please tell. I have also tried the ByteArray Class Serialization method and it fails when the swf is on another domain.

The only solution is to declare the instance as an Object and ‘pretend’ the object as the Class instance.

Thanks for pointing this out. We ran into this in Flex and had to remember to set myModuleLoaderInstance.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain.

Also, you’d asked about a code formatter–do you mean for your blog or eclipse? I’ve been liking this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/flexformatter/
