Yeah that makes sense. And you're absolutely right that components themselves should register for stage events instead of sending notifications.
(on a side note, do you know if a loaded swf file would contain 2 stage objects one for each swf (the loading file and the loaded file).
Thanks a lot, that just simplified things a bit
