I have Loader object containing loaded swf. I don't know how the shape of this swf looks like - it's not necessarily rectangular. I want to add some light reflection on it.

The closest thing I could find was http://fatal-except...

Hi there! I read (twice) this very useful article: http://blogs.adobe.com/flexdoc/pdfs/modular.pdf And, I know that the best way to make a connection from my main app to my modules is through interfaces.
