Loader vs Swf

Hi
I have a file named A that is a basic document. Just used to
load another movie named B. If I load the movie B and the movie B
has only something on the Timeline, but no Document Class, all
works great. In the other way, if the document B has a Document
Class (Very basic too), and nothing on the timeline, all works
great. The problem is if I have a Document Class and something on
the timeline, then I get this error. mc_topNav in this case is the
Clip on the Timeline and ca.MyClass is my Documnet Class
ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property mc_topNav
on ca.MyClass.
at
flash.display::Sprite/flash.display:Sprite::constructChildren()
at flash.display::Sprite$iinit()
at ca.forces.sections::Section$iinit()
This is my code on the main document A
import flash.display.Loader;
import flash.events.*;
import flash.net.URLRequest;
import ca.MyClass;
var loader:Loader;
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT,
contentComplete);
loader.load(new URLRequest("mySimpleClip.swf"));
function contentComplete(events:Event):void {
addChild(loader);
var myContent:MyClass = (loader.content as MyClass);
myContent.init();
If I comments the 2 last lines :
//var myContent:MyClass = (loader.content as MyClass);
//myContent.init();
It works, else there is the error message.
Just like I can have a Class Document while I don't call any
methods of it when there is a Clip on the timeline.
Any Idea.

Ok
I know I juts post the question and I found the answer. Well
for those who have the same problem, you'll find the answer here.
The
answer here
Simply add your document as dynamic.
If you have any other suggestions, you can post it, I'm open
for many solutions...

    I am able to load and unload different swf files but unable to load the importer.swf file which is sharing symbols from external swf and that too for the second time i.e., when i click the button twice.
    When trying to debug with flash debugger, all the other swf files are being unloaded before loading of another swf but the swf which is sharing symbols/classes with another swf is not getting unloaded.
    Output when i am trying to load two files example and importer files into loader.swf file on two different button clicks. On first button click example.swf is loaded. On second button click , example.swf is unloaded and importer.swf is loaded which is successful. On first button click again importer.swf is unloaded and example.swf is loaded.

  • How to Load a SWF in Dynamically Loaded HTML

    Hello,
    I have a Flash movie with a multi-line text field that loads
    HTML text. As per the below Macromedia documentation I have swfs as
    images inside my HTML text.
    I'm trying to find a way to pre-load these swfs - if I do
    loadmovie to load the swf, when the html file is loaded will it
    need to reload the swf from scratch or will it take my loaded
    version? I'd love to show a "loading" message in the text as the
    swf was loading but am unsure how to do this now that I have the
    swf reference embedded in the html text.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Julia
    From the Macromedia documentation:
    Image tag (<img>
    The <img> tag lets you embed external JPEG files, SWF
    files, and movie clips inside text fields. The <img> tag has
    one required attribute, src, which specifies the path to a JPEG
    file, a SWF file, or the linkage identifier of a movie clip symbol.

    Thanks - your answer is exactly what I was looking for.
    I'm noticing that every swf I load via dynamic HTML is
    distorted - is there a way to prevent this? I can set the width and
    height of each swf in the HTML, which works ok, but then I run into
    a problem when I try and have a component item (like an accordion)
    included in the dynamic text field. It works properly, and the
    framing is sized correctly, but the guts are still skewed. I
    haven't been able to figure out why the swfs are being distorted in
    the first place.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Julia

  • Can I combine two methods of code to load various SWF files into the same location

    I presently have a set up where a large SWF file brought on the stage by clicking small icons from the scrollable thumbnail menu on the bottom of the stage. All of it happens at the same frame with .xml loading file.
    Here is the code for constructing the ImageLoader(for thumbnails) and SWFLoader for (bigger SWF files)
    [CODE]
       function _xmlCompleteHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {
       _slides = [];
       var xml:XML = event.target.content; //the XMLLoader's "content" is the XML that was loaded.
       var imageList:XMLList = xml.image; //In the XML, we have <image /> nodes with all the info we need.
       //loop through each <image /> node and create a Slide object for each.
       for each (var image:XML in imageList) {
        _slides.push( new Slide(image.@name,
              image.@description,
              new ImageLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/thumbnails/appThmb_imgs/" + image.@name + ".jpg",
                   name:image.@name + "Thumb",
                   width:_THUMB_WIDTH,
                   height:_THUMB_HEIGHT,
                   //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates
                   //x:260, y:320,//doesn't work here but works in line 69
                   scaleMode:"proportionalInside",
                   bgColor:0x000000,
                   estimatedBytes:13000,
                   onFail:_imageFailHandler}),
              new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",
                    name:image.@name + "Image",
                    width:_IMAGE_WIDTH,
                    height:_IMAGE_HEIGHT,
                    //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates
                    x:0, y:144,
                    scaleMode:"proportionalInside",
                    bgColor:0x000000,
                    estimatedBytes:820000,
                    onFail:_imageFailHandler})
    [/CODE]
    Here is what I would like to resolve. I have another section on the site with an image collage. Every image is a button. I want to script this each image on click to go to the label with ImageLoader and SWFLoader AND TO OPEN A UNIQUE SWF (ASSOCIATED WITH AN IMAGE CLICKED) ON THAT PAGE
    Previously this is what I did to achieve it. I would specify a String:
    [CODE]
    var sourceVar_ProductsPopUps:String;
    [/CODE]
    and then all my buttons will have their unique SWF assigned for them which opens at another labeled section ("prdctsPopUps" in this example):
    [CODE]
    function onClickSumix1PopUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
      sourceVar_ProductsPopUps="prdcts_popups/sumix1-popup_tl.swf";
      gotoAndPlay("prdctsPopUps");
    [/CODE]
    Then in the "prdctsPopUps" section I would specify that var string to bring up SWF files. The value of sourceVar_ProductsPopUps allows to load mulitple SWFs from the previous page.
    [CODE]
    loaderProductPopUps = new SWFLoader(sourceVar_ProductsPopUps,
    [/CODE]
    But I need both of them to be working at the same time. First there is a sectionA from where a user can navigate to specifically targeted SWF to section B's SWFLoader. Then in the section B a user has an option to bring up other SWF files into SWFLoader from the scrollable thumbs menu. Is there a way to combine these two lines into one:
    [CODE]
              new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",
    [/CODE]
    and
    [CODE]
    new SWFLoader(sourceVar_ProductsPopUps,
    [/CODE]

    Thanks for looking into my issue.
    Unfortunatelly I am not so advanced in AS and do not complitely understand the logic of the problem. I will try to decribe my set up more precise.
    So, my main flash file is broken into labeled sections on the main time line.
    One of the sections is "Applications" It has an animated collage of images. Each image acts as a button and once clicked brings a user to a section called "ApplicationsPopUps".
    "ApplicationsPopUps" section has small image thumbnails scroll menu at the bottom of the screen and a large SWFLoader in the middle of the screen. User can click on an image in the thumbnails scroll menu and a corresponding SWF file will load in the middle of the screen in SWFLoader. User can click on left/right navigation buttons and preceeding/following SWF file will load in SWFLoader.
    Everything works fine (with your previous help)
    Here is the working code for the ImageLoader and SWFLoader (please let me know if you need additional code on the page):
    function _xmlCompleteHandler(event:LoaderEvent):void {        _slides = [];       var xml:XML = event.target.content; //the XMLLoader's "content" is the XML that was loaded.        var imageList:XMLList = xml.image; //In the XML, we have  nodes with all the info we need.        //loop through each  node and create a Slide object for each.       for each (var image:XML in imageList) {         _slides.push( new Slide(image.@name,               image.@description,               new ImageLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/thumbnails/appThmb_imgs/" + image.@name + ".jpg",               {                    name:image.@name + "Thumb",                    width:_THUMB_WIDTH,                    height:_THUMB_HEIGHT,                    //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates                    //x:260, y:320,//doesn't work here but works in line 69                   scaleMode:"proportionalInside",                    bgColor:0x000000,                    estimatedBytes:13000,                    onFail:_imageFailHandler}),                 new SWFLoader("loadingAssets/appThumbnails/slideshow_image scroller greenSock_mine/assets/images/" + image.@name + ".swf",                   {                     name:image.@name + "Image",                     width:_IMAGE_WIDTH,                     height:_IMAGE_HEIGHT,                     //centerRegistration:true,//messes up the code as places SWFLoader in the upper left corner which is 0,0 coordinates                   x:0, y:144,                     scaleMode:"proportionalInside",                     bgColor:0x000000,                     estimatedBytes:820000,                     onFail:_imageFailHandler}) 
    Thumbnails in the section "ApplicationsPopUps" and images in the image collage in the section "Applications" represent the same photographs. So when a user clicks on one of the images in "Applications" section it would be natural that that image will load in the "ApplicationsPopUps" section. However "ApplicationsPopUps" section presently has a working code (as sampled above) It looks too complex for me and I do not know hot to implement this feature. I do want to keep the functionality of the thumbs image scroller in section "ApplicationsPopUps" as it is now. But I want to add that when a user click on an image from section"Applications" then that particular SWF file will load in SWFLoader in section "ApplicationsPopUps" and then the present functionality can as well be exectuted. Presently it just opens on a first image in xml order.
    P.S. I see that you had a download link in your answer. How did you do it? I could also upload a small sample file with my problem. This way you could see all the set up right away.

  • Loading multiple swfs using air 3.6 for ios

    Adobe, can you please provide us with the code to load multiple swf files for ios. Please provide examples. The code below loads multiple swfs, but the swfs stall, so this does not seem to be a solution.
    Code description: A flash file made up of 4 frames with forward and back buttons that navigate from frame to frame. The code loads three different swf files in frames 2, 3 and 4.
    Frame 1:
    var myLoader:Loader;
    var loaderContext:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain, null);
    if(myLoader == null){myLoader = new Loader(); addChild(myLoader); }
    else {myLoader.unload();}
    Frame 2:
    myLoader.unload();
    myLoader.load(new URLRequest("file1.swf"),loaderContext);
    Frame 3:
    myLoader.unload();
    myLoader.load(new URLRequest("file2.swf"),loaderContext);
    Frame 4:
    myLoader.unload();
    myLoader.load(new URLRequest("file3.swf"),loaderContext);

    I've just tried loading, unloading and then loading again same SWF with 2 library objects linked for AS3 export. It worked both on simulator and on device in debug mode. When I look inside swf it does contain AS3 code.
    So is my swf a pure asset SWF? Or Intellij Idea 12 that I'm using does stripping automatically?
    And then I've read your comment at http://forums.adobe.com/message/5217325#5217325 and run 'swfdump' utility on my .swf file. Looks like there's no ABC2 code, that's why app was able to load, unload and load again the same swf.

  • Loading local swf files from Application Dir (ios)

    Hi Guys,
    I would like to load additional local swf files to my ios release build but I am confused a little bit because of the new API changes.
    As far as I know at the moment (from Air 3.7 or newer) it is allowed to load local swf files that contains compiled actionscript both from local folder and from a predefined remote host as well. 
    My assumption based on this article:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/airodynamics/2013/03/08/external-hosting-of-secondary-swfs-for-air- apps-on-ios/
    I created the text file to include all of my local swf file names and created the following node in the application.xml:
    <iPhone>
           <externalSwfs>assets/SampleSWFInfoFile.txt</externalSwfs>
    </iPhone>
    When I compile the release build (ipa) using command line adt, it converts all of my local swfs into the stripped swfs which is perfect, but even though I include all the swfs in the compiler command, it puts only the SampleSWFInfoFile.txt file into the assets folder in the ipa but not the swf files.
    I assume, it thinks I will load these files from an external host, but I would like to include them in the app itself.
    I tried to copy the stripped swf files from the externalStrippedSwfs folder and comment the <externalSwfs>assets/SampleSWFInfoFile.txt</externalSwfs> node in the application.xml and compile it and this way it puts the swf files into the ipa, but when I try to install and launch the app it crashes and when I test it using Flash Builder it shows an error message
    "VerifyError: Error #1042: Not an ABC file."
    Do any of you guys know the  solution for this problem?
    Thank you for your help in advance!

    You're publishing in AOT mode as long as you use one of these:
    The AIR Developer Tool or ADT has targets that lets you package apps either for the AOT mode or Interpreter mode. The targets for packaging in AOT mode are ipa-app-store, ipa-ad-hoc, ipa-test and ipa-debug.
    Flash Pro CS6 and Flash Builder automate this process pretty well so it's invisible but the SWF loads and executes code just fine for me when directly published.
    If I take it to command line I can use this to compile successfully (iPad test app):
    adt -package -target ipa-ad-hoc -storetype pkcs12 -keystore my.p12 -provisioning-profile my.mobileprovision NameOfApp.ipa NameOfApp-app.xml NameOfApp.swf iTunesArtwork iTunesArtwork@2x AppIconsForPublish swfs/swfs.txt swfs/GenerateText.swf
    I at least include generic icons in there but I made a 'swfs' folder and placed 'swfs.txt' and 'GenerateText.swf' in there. The SWF uses code to randomly generate text and changes every second using a Timer. I load it in using the same code you do with the ApplicationDomain.currentDomain context. I see the SWF appear and text start randomly changing.
    As I compile there's a folder generated called 'externalStrippedSwfs' with the stripped SWF in there.
    One thing to note is I do not supply <externalSwfs>swfs/swfs.txt</externalSwfs> in my iPhone settings. If I do that it doesn't work. I supply the path to the text file containing the SWF I want to be stripped to adt itself along with the SWFs I want stripped and it takes care of the rest.

  • Too much delay to load new SWF after unloaded the current SWF

    Hi,
    In our application we are using more than 10 SWFs. While traversing one SWF to other trying to unload currently loaded SWF and loading the new one. We were success to unload the existing SWF but the problem is, taking too much time to load new SWF (more than 5 seconds). Please suggest a useful method to avoid this delay to get better performance.
    will get some idea from following code snippet.
    Thanks
    public function SwitchSWFs():void
                   if (null != SystemAgent.getInstance().currentSWFLoader)
                                    SystemAgent.getInstance().currentSWFLoader.unload();
                                    SystemAgent.getInstance().currentSWFLoader = null;
                                    trace("HomeUI : Previous swf unloaded!!!");
                    else
                    addChild(SystemAgent.getInstance().swfLoaderSecondSWF);
                    SystemAgent.getInstance().currentSWFLoader = SystemAgent.getInstance().swfLoaderSecondSWF;
    //will invoke from a button click
    public function LoadSecondSWF():void
                    SystemAgent.getInstance().swfLoaderSecondSWF.load(new URLRequest("Second.SWF"));
                    SwitchSWFs();

    Is the delay happening when you test locally?
    One thing you might try is to load any Loaders you have up front before they are needed so that there is a better chance they are ready to be added to the display list when called for.  So instead of having the button trigger loading the swf, you just have it call the switchSWFs function.
    Another thing you might try if you keep it where the button triggers loading the file is to assign an event listener for the Loader to detect when it has finished loading and then have that listener's event handler function call the switchSWFs function.  At least that way, the current swf is not unloaded until a replacement is ready and waiting.

  • Loading external swfs extending from classes in the same shared codebase

    Hey there!
    I'm currently developing a game in flash and want to be able to divide up my .fla assets in a way that means artists can work on a game menu .fla in isolation from the game.fla and rest of the game code.
    If I could briefly explain how I've approached this so far, I would be extremely if people could shout in my general direction and tell me I am stupid, or even better still, give me helpful advice as to where I am going wrong and how I can correct it!
    My project is setup like this:
    HighScoreMenu.fla -> document class HighScoreMenu extending GameMenu class.
    game.fla ->document class game.as
    game.as class loads the published HighScoreMenu.swf and manipulates the menu i.e. animates on and off screen via inherited functions in the GameMenu class.
    Now this seemed to work to begin with, until my code evolved and upon going to publish my HighScoreMenu.fla flash started complaining about symbols being used in Game.as that were in Game.fla...  If I'm only publishing the HighScoreMenu which extends from GameMenu then why is it even looking to compile Game.as?
    Can you spot the problem in the way I am doing this, or is there a better approach I should try?
    Any advice greatly appreciated!
    Stevie.

    No it doesn't seem to, however though they both have a reference to the HighScoreManager so there is some overlap there between menu and game code, but the menu classes don't reference any symbols on the game.fla...
    Just to clarify, I have an fla HighScoreMenu.fla, which has a child symbol HighScoreMenu which uses the following class.
    public dynamic class HighScoreMenu extends GameMenu
         //convenient storage for competition Manager object
         private var _highScoreManager:HighScoreManager;
    The game then loads this class as follows:
    I load the swf "HighScoreMenu.swf" and once its loaded I obtain the menu class like so:
    var cls:Class = Class( applicationDomain.getDefinition("Menus.HighScoreMenu") );
    var object:* = new cls();
    ...and create a new instance of the menu.
    Is there anything fundamentally wrong with approaching it in this way?

  • Loading external swf file in a new window

    Hi,
    I've got a few .swf files with video tutorials I've created using Captivate 4.
    I wanted to link them so I've created a main screen with menu with buttons in Flash.
    I've added AS to load the external swf files but they load in the same window. How can I load these .swf files in seperate window so that you could get back to the main window after you've finished watching?
    Here's my code:
    stop();
    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movie1_1);
    function movie1_1(e:MouseEvent):void
        var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("01_01_Welcome.swf");
        myLoader.load(myURL);
        addChild(myLoader);
    I'm also attaching screenshot with menu in flash

    I've deleted the line and now the code lookes like that:
    stop();
    var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    button1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, movie1_1);
    function movie1_1(e:MouseEvent):void
        var myURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest("01_01_Welcome.swf");
        addChild(myLoader);
    Unfortunately, it doesn't load the .swf file when you click on the button...

  • Loading a SWF inside another SWF question

    Hello friends,
    1. (IMPORTANT) As all we know when putting some Flash SWF
    inside an HTML page, normally it starts playing as soon as its
    first frame is loaded.
    Now in my case I have to load a SWF (let call it Flash A)
    inside another Flash, I used mx.controls.Loader control to do this.
    But this internal loaded SWF (Flash A) doesn't display untill it is
    completely loaded. Although what is interesting is that if it
    contains a sound track I can hear it while it is being loaded.
    I wana know is there any way that we can make this Flash
    display while being still loaded.
    2. Is there anyway to change a Flash playback FPS at runtime?
    Thank you so much for any note and help.
    - M

  • Loading external swf  not complete

    Hi, I'm trying to load external swf (with more than one frame and actionscript 3 on every frame - I used there "timeline" coding) from my main swf.
    code for loading external swf into main swf:
    var loader01:Loader;
    function openGame1(evt:Event):void
    loader01 = new Loader();
    var requestSWF01:URLRequest = new URLRequest("game01.swf");
    loader01.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, processHandler);
    loader01.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, initHandler);
    loader01.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, errorHandler);
    loader01.load(requestSWF01);
    addChild(loader01);
    function processHandler(evt:ProgressEvent):void
    var loaded:Number=evt.target.bytesLoaded;
    var total:Number=evt.target.bytesTotal;
    var stav:Number=loaded/total;
    loaded_txt.text=(Math.round(stav*100))+" %";
    function initHandler(evt:Event):void{
    loaded_txt.text="";
    function errorHandler(evt:IOErrorEvent):void
         trace ("Error: " + evt.text);
    I found out that this works only for loading swf, which has only one frame (and all actionscript on that frame)... It seems that if there are more frames, than it will not load complete swf (hmm maybe it is caused, because not all objects on frames are export in first frame). Preloading starts but after for example 20 % the event.INIT is fired and the external swf starts to play (and crashes..).
    You can see this here http://bvyborcik.xf.cz/  If you click on the blue building on the left with blinking text "Start hry" you will see what happens - preloading is not completed and after clicking on first floor btn, the swf crashes...
    Please is there a solution for this kind of problem?  Any help or pointing is welcome.
    regards Boris

    just curious, is the file you want to load the swf into set up exactly the same way with the same stage size, fps, and layers?

  • How to load external SWF used sharing library.

    Hi~~~
    Before ask the question, plz understand my bad English..
    Recently I try to load the Swf file that is maded by Flash CS 6.0.
    Especially it used shared library..
    When I try to load this SWF, I used FileStream instead URLRequest.
    This is because the target SWF File located same device with the Swf Application.. So when I use the URLRequest
    it give me the warning - Sandbox security violation.
    But by using FileStream, the warning did not occur.
    This is the sample code below..
      var myFile = new File(path);
      var myStream = new FileStream();
      myStream.open(myFile, FileMode.READ;
      var myBytes:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
      myStream.readBytes( myBytes );
       mSwfLoader.loadBytes( fileStream, context );
       mSwfLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadedComplete);
    As you can see, I made a event listener to get the content of the Loader, after receving Complete Event(I guess.. after decording?).
    But I can't receive any event call, so I removed symbol used sharing library in the SWF.
    And this gave me the result as I respected... So I guess the problem caused by using sharing Library..!
    (In parenthease, I can see the valid result in running debug time on the Flash CS6..)
    What should I do? I respect that using sharing libary give saving memory.  So I want to using it as possible.
    Thanks for your reading...!

    HTH,

  • Accessing resources in loaded/external SWFs

    I've been looking around for an effective way of solving this
    issue, but without much like. What I'm trying to accomplish is
    creating a container for my newest Flash site in main.swf and
    loading other swf files that provide resources that modify mcs,
    functions etc. of the main.swf. I plan to have main.swf hold my
    background, logo etc. then each subrelated page as contact.swf,
    index.swf to be placed on top of that swf.
    I did find this thread:
    http://www.kirupa.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-241538.html
    but all I managed to get from it is how to reference elements in
    the child from the parent using Loader.content. What I'm trying to
    figure out is how to reference from the child to the parent. ie. if
    I want to modify the background of the main.swf which is contained
    in a function called changeBackground().
    To add some more complexity I am trying to keep as much of my
    code in .as files that are placed in the Document class. So for
    each main.fla I have a main.as and index.fla is index.as. In my
    index.as script I need to determine how to access objects/functions
    contained in main.as.
    I HOPE that I've explained that all properly. If I'm being
    confusing or using inappropriate terms - apologies.

    First, you need a loadComplete function in your icMain class
    to get called after the swf is loaded. You set up that relationship
    already in this line:
    indexLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
    loadComplete);
    so you need this:
    private function loadComplete(event:Event):void
    then, move these functions into the loadComplete function as
    you have to wait until the swf is loaded before setting the
    reference:
    var indexPage:indexPage = indexLoader.content as indexPage;
    indexPage.icMain = this;
    In your indexPage class, you need to move your set mainSWF
    function outside of the indexPage function. Also, the type of
    object you are passing, according to your code, should be icMain.
    So, instead of this:
    public function indexPage():void
    public function set mainSWF(icMain:MainSWFDocumentClass):void
    _icMain = icMain;
    Do this (notice I changed the name of your variable to avoid
    name conflict. using the convention of starting class names with a
    Capital letter would help too):
    private var _mainSWF:icMain;
    public function indexPage():void
    public function set mainSWF(mainSWF:icMain):void {
    _mainSWF = mainSWF;
    Here is the rewritten icMain class:
    package
    public class icMain extends Sprite
    public function icMain():void
    var indexRequest:URLRequest = new
    URLRequest("index/index.swf");
    var indexLoader:Loader = new Loader();
    indexLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,
    loadProgress);
    indexLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
    loadComplete);
    indexLoader.load(indexRequest);
    private function loadComplete(event:Event):void
    var indexPage:indexPage = indexLoader.content as indexPage;
    indexPage.icMain = this;
    And here is your rewritten indexPage class:
    package {
    public class indexPage extends Sprite
    private var _mainSWF:icMain;
    public function indexPage():void
    public function set mainSWF(mainSWF:icMain):void {
    _mainSWF = mainSWF;
