Flex SWFLoader Event.COMPLETE not triggering

Question

While trying to load a Bitmap onto a SWFLoader the Event.COMPLETE event is not being triggered

mySWFLoader.source = new Bitmap(Bitmap(someEvent.content).bitmapData);

but if I use a URL as source the complete event is triggered:

mySWFLoader.source = "http://example.com/123.jpg";

Is there some kind of restriction while using Bitmap as source?

Answer 1

I believe if you use data that already exists in memory (which your Bitmap would) then no load operation would happen. It should be usable immediately after construction. I know attaching movies in AS2 worked like that. If it was part of the library you could use it right away and no loading events would happen.
