Hello I have this very simple mxml example.
Using flex builder with flex sdk 3.4.0 if the module is remote like http://edofiles.s3.amazonaws.com/calculator.swf
The READY event is never fired, i don't understand why.
Do you get the same behavior ?
Original code is from http://lowpitch.com/blog/modulemanager-and-imoduleinfo-loading-flex-modules-dynamically/#comment-4396
Any clues ?
