buffer delay Loader priority timeout URLLoader URLRequest URLRequestBuffer
URLRequestBuffer – Buffer Your URLRequests
Let’s suppose your app makes a lot of http requests at once, and you need a good administration for that. Based on used browser your app is running on, you are only allowed to limited request count – mostly its 2 requests per domain, the remaining ones are sitting in browser buffer waiting to finish those actual. URLRequestBuffer is handy class that lets you manage URLRequest-s. E.g. you are creating image gallery and request hundreds of images in gallery at a time, now when user navigates throug the images you need to make some request more prioritized before others, some to be canceled, some may timeout etc. Here comes URLRequestBuffer in scene.

Child communication content Loader Parent URLRequest
How to communicate between loader and child
This post is about communication between loader (Parent.as) flash object (.swf) and loaded (Child.as) flash object. While flash is event based, I find it correct to use events to communicate, although different methods exist (direct function call etc.)

ApplicationDomain Class Error IFlexDisplayObject Loader LoaderContext URLRequest
Flex Error #1034: Type Coercion Failed: Cannot Convert *** to mx.core.IFlexDisplayObject
When you keep getting:
Flex Error #1034: Type Coercion Failed: Cannot Convert *** to mx.core.IFlexDisplayObject… after using getDefinition() method, in my case:
// url = "../some.swf"
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.applicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain(ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, assetsComplete);
loader.load(request, context);
...
// assetsComplete()
var applicationDomain:ApplicationDomain = assetsLoader.contentLoaderInfo.applicationDomain;
var assetsClass:Class = applicationDomain.getDefinition("Assets") as Class;
...
The problem is, in fact, the security not coercion! Try move your .swf (the one that is beeing loaded) into the same directory where master .swf file is located.
