Hello,

I have imported a swf (not created with Flex, i.e. non-framework) into a Flex application. Once loaded, I would like to access movieclips within that imported swf. Looking at Adobe's docs (http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=controls_15.html), it seems straightforward; however, their examples are between a Flex app and an imported swf (created with Flex).

Like their example, I'm trying to use the SystemManager to access the imported swf's content; however, I receive the following error:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::MovieClip@58ca241 to mx.managers.SystemManager.

Is this error occurring because I'm importing a non-framework swf into a framework swf? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute">

<mx:SWFLoader source="assets/test.swf"  id="loader"  creationComplete="swfLoaded()" /> 

<mx:Script>
 <![CDATA[

  import mx.managers.SystemManager;

  [Bindable]
        public var loadedSM:SystemManager;


  private function swfLoaded():void 
  { 
   loadedSM = SystemManager(loader.content);
  } 
 ]]>


</mx:Script>
</mx:Application>
