I’ve inherited an AS2 app that has a lot of functionality. I need to embed this thing somehow in my AS3 app so I can execute function calls etc and basically control it. Has anyone ever tried something like this? I’m assuming I’ll have to URLLoader the AS2 SWF into a MovieClip and take it from there.

AS3 SWF (AVM2 movie) can load AS2 movies (AVM1 movie) using the
Loaderclass, but cannot access the methods/properties of it. The loaded AS2 movie will be of type AVM1Movie (and not MovieClip).Livedocs page about AVM1Movie
The two movies can communicate with each other using the
LocalConnectionclass. See sending data from avm2 to avm1
