I've been trying very hard to get an AS2 swf to load properly inside an AS3 swf - but to no avail ...

The AS2 file (which is a rather big app referencing many external xml files etc.) works perfectly when launched in Flash Player.

When trying to load the same file through an AS3 swf (using URLRequest and Loader classes), the file starts loading but stops abruptly during the preloading phase. (Same happens if I try to load it using AS2 "loadMovie".)

What is there more to try? Security settings, custom loader classes - any advice is appreciated.
