For me it happend… i followed your instructions by putting the moduleLoader as global.. but the same problem occurs..but i fixed it differently…

The object where this module loading logic is going on is called from a local instance in the main application. So, GC is clearig it off in the main application..local variables.. it was a shock to me.. so, if the same problem is occuring to you.. check to see where you are calling this logic from..

@Naju Have you see the code above where Joshua wrote like this :

Here’s an example using ModuleLoader…

public function loadSWFModule(swfURL:String):void
{
var moduleLoader:ModuleLoader = new ModuleLoader();
moduleLoader.url = swfURL;

moduleLoader.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.READY,onModuleLoaded);
moduleLoader.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.ERROR,onModuleError);
moduleLoader.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.PROGRESS,onProgress);
moduleLoader.loadModule();
}

Hope it helps.. ^_^

Having the same issue, however my ModuleLoader’s are on the stage, not instantiated from code. Any solutions for that scenario?

Oh, thank you so much for posting this. For the life of me I could not figure out why ModuleEvent.READY was not being dispatched when loading on startup.

This behavior is quite bizarre – Adobe really should document this better.

At any rate, you and Google are my best friends.

Nithya,
Try using module manager has you’ll have a finer grain of feedback / control. Loading modules will usually launch the garbage collector so watch your scope.
