flash as2: how to create a popup alert while having a hidden stage ?

Question

Hi.

I've created a main swf application that loads other swf files to use their classes (using getUrl()). i would like that these swf files would output popup alert messages when errors occur without changing the main swf file. how can i do so ?

the external swf files that i load got a hidden stage which disallows me from viewing anything or seeing any message from them.

Using adobe flash, Action Script 2.

If your swf is embedded in an HTML page, you could try:

message = "This is my error message text";
getURL("javascript:alert('"+message+"')", '');
