How do I share resources between two Android Air Applications

I have two air applications installed on Android 2.2. What I want to do is load App2.swf into a movieclip in App1.swf.

Is this possible?

If I include App2.swf in the APK all works fine. But what I want to do is either load it from a second application folder or from /sdcard/dropbox/App2.swf

My load command var mRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("file://sdcard/dropbox/App2.swf"); // But it doesn't work !!!

Try loading a text file instead of a swf and see if that works? That will tell you if you have the correct path or not.

The swf may not work because of security issues. Attach some error event handlers and see what they say - do you get a security error or a file-not-found error?

I've never tried loading off the SD card, but some useful paths to use are here:
