Error #1056: Cannot create property __id0_ on ModuleSwf

[elmonty2]

I have a document class for a SWF. This SWF compiles and runs fine.  When I load it inside another SWF, I get this:

ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property __id0_ on ModuleSwf.

          at flash.display::Sprite/constructChildren()

          at flash.display::Sprite()

          at flash.display::MovieClip()

          at ModuleSwf()

ModuleSwf is the document class of the loaded SWF.  What is causing this?

[kglad]

if your document class is extending Sprite, change it to extend MovieClip.

and, is __id0_ something you have in your code?

[elmonty2]

__id0__ is nothing of mine. I am already extending MovieClip.

I thought I figured it out that I needed to make my document class dynamic, but when I did that, one of my custom components within the loaded SWF stopped working.  Very frustrating!

[sinious]

A Sprite can load a MovieClip so that should be no issue.

Though you're not giving nearly enough detail. Please post some code surrounding the error.

click file>publish settings>flash>tick "permit debuggin" in your loading swf. 

retest and note the problematic line number in the error message.  copy and paste that line of code.

what's line 17?  your constructor? 

if yes, is there a lot of white space above the contructor?  (much more than you've shown?)
