Pod that loads another pod

We have come up with a great solution to making sure the user is always running the latest version of our pod (swf).

1. Put our latest compiled swf file on a public web server
2. Have our custom pod load that swf file on startup into itself.

Is it possible to load another swf into a custom pod and if so how?

Re: Pod that loads another pod

Great idea.  I don't see why this wouldn't work.

There is a SWFLoader control in Flash Builder that you can probably leverage to do this.

As a heads-up, sometimes loading external content into a SWF requires you setup a crossdomain.xml file on the server for security reasons.  I'm not sure if that would be needed in your scenario - but maybe one of the other developers could comment.

Re: Pod that loads another pod

This is something I am trying now but with no luck when using a URL to load a swf file from another server. Does anybody know how to use a URL from the Adobe Connect server or another server to load an external SWF file into the SWFLoader control?  And yes we probably need to setup the crossdomain.xml file but where is it on the server?

Thanks.
