_skin = _skinloader.contentLoaderInfo.content as MovieClip;

I have just seen this. I thought you used loader.content to get the route movieclip etc... Does the above code make any sense or even exist. content is not a property of contentLoaderInfo is it???

Correct answer kglad

if _skinloader is a loader that loads a swf and the swf extends the MovieClip class and loading is complete, yes - it makes sense.

and yes, the loaderInfo and the loader both have content properties.

This code was written in the event handler so my question is why didn't they just write

_skin = evt.target.content as MovieClip

like everybody else usually does? I think it's the same but standard practise to use the event isn't it?

yes, i've never used the loaderinfo property of the loader to access the content that's loaded.  there's no reason to use that "long" way when you have access to the loader directly from the event.
