EventDispatcher from external SWF

[UKTim]

Hi everyone,

Im having some problems getting events from an external flash movie. In my main application class, i'm loading an external swf (with MovieClipLoader) into an empty movieclip. I'm storing the reference to the movieclip as a property of my class.

In my external movieclip , ive set up an eventDispatcher to dispatch various events that I want my application class to listen to.

Back in my application class, im adding a listener to the movieclip reference that the swf is loaded into, but I cant seem to get it to hear the event :-S

Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

thanx in advance
tim

Did a quick test and it's working for me. I added EventListener on LoadInit.

One issue is I cannot listen to the event dispatched immediately on load. This is probably because it takes time to initialize the EventDispatcher/Listener. Events dispathed after EnterFrame are properly listened.
