Flash 6 app running inside Flex2?

[Mortimer Jazz]

Am I right in saying that a standalone application written for Flash 6, can be loaded in to and run happily inside a Flex2 application? (The Flash 6 app needs to be able to make calls to a server)

As AS1 and AS3 run on different VMs, I'm pretty sure the Flash 6 app will not be able to communicate with the Flex2 app and vice-versa - that's not a problem, as long as the Flash can run happily inside of Flex.

If someone with more experience using Flex2 can confirm that this scenario would work, I would be very grateful.

Cheers,
Neil

You're right. An AVM2 movie can load external movies that use AVM1 and have them work fine. They just can't really communicate with each other. Also, you might want to keep an eye out on technotes on Adobe.com that explain some of the complications invloving AVM1 movies loaded into AVM2 movies. For the most part, it should be ok, but there are some quirks.

Hey Senocular :)
That's good to be aware of. Thanks.
