I can't get this to work. When I debug it says passes me the "Error #1009: Cannot access ... a null object reference." But it's buggy though. The functions never works in debug mode but it does sometimes running in normal mode. When I pull in a fresh version of the Flash swf it works (not debug mode) but if I modify anything it just sits there (apparently passing the error). Otherwise it seems like a great way to solve the problem. Gah. I can’t get this to work. When I debug it says passes me the “Error #1009: Cannot access … a null object reference.”

The sample swf & mxml works fine, however I am having trouble recreating this functionality if I start from the fla. I tried to export to swf from the library panel and from file->export movie, but when flex loads the swf the content object was of type "MovieClip" and so did not have the setFlashText method or the animhorse_mc movie clip member. I am using CS3 and Flex builder 2. This is probably a Flash noob question, but I can't find info anywhere so any tips would be appreciated. :) Hi,

I have a flash menu, the user clicks one of the buttons(there movieclips) and I want the flex to load the associated .swf I have a quick question for you, is there a way for the flex to detect a keypress in the flash and load something from it ie.
