I have two SWF files which I shall call container and slave. The slave file contains a movieclip that extends from a class I shall call base. base extends MovieClip and is compiled into an SWC. slave includes this SWC as a runtime library, while container includes it as merged (and does reference it so it should be compiled into the container SWF).
The container loads the slave like so:
bgURLRequest = new URLRequest(slaveUrl);
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, new ApplicationDomain( null ), SecurityDomain.currentDomain);
bgLoader.load(bgURLRequest, context);
When this loading happens, I get the error that class base was not found. I suspect this has something to do with the presence of the ApplicationDomain in there. I'm not sure what it does exactly, since I didn't write this loading code myself (but I do know that it's there for a reason so it can't be simply removed).
How to fix?
This is the solution
new LoaderContext(false, new ApplicationDomain( ApplicationDomain.currentDomain ), SecurityDomain.currentDomain);
