I have 2 Flex applications. The first application (swf1) loads the other application (swf2). “swf1″ has an embedded image inside it, when I try and access the embeded image in “swf2″ nothing happens. The best way to explain it is with some sample code (source can be found here): swf1: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application...

I was missing the functionality to pass along the parameters to the function call, regardless of how many parameters where present. Before I just had hard coded it to 3.

Today I updated the code base to work with Beta 3. (It works in Flex 2 release version now.) You can find the example and source code here. Here is my disclaimer on this code: You have to keep in mind this is mimicing RemoteObject component functionality...
