title: external swf control flex application?
body: <p>I have a flex application that loads an external swf file. I created the external swf file using flash cs4 so I can add code to it if that is what it takes.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the code I use to load my external swf:</p>
  
  <pre><code>//add button swf
  var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.yadayada.com/media/but_button.swf");
  var loader3:Loader = new Loader();
  loader3.load(request);
  addChild(loader3);
  //position the ZoomControls
  
  loader3.y = 0;
  loader3.x = 0;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can I have my external swf send click events to my flex application? How?</p>
