Embedding swf files?

[Arxanas]

So say I have a local .swf file, and a .swf on a server, and I want to load the server file into the local file (so if multiple people used it, I could update everything without them having to download something new). I want to know how to do this in both as2 and as3 (I searched on Google and found nothing of importance).
Also, do you need some sort of cross-site xml file?

I don't know about AS2 but I think that you could load it with the loader class in AS3, you might need some security... things to get it to work though.

*looks up loader class*

That's why adobe has livedocs.
But seriously, don't you own Essential ActionScript 3.0? It's well worth the money.

[Arxanas]

I HATE livedocs.

And I own some AS3 books, but I learned it mostly from the Avoider Game tutorials.

The documentation tells me everything I need to know. LiveDocs works fine for me.
There's a way to embed (using metatags) SWFs but I cannot remember how.

The most irksome part is that it's online. I'm often out of the country/without internet, so online help is no good whatsoever.

Still, I think Flash 8 and 9 came with a .chm with help. Now that was useful (it's also how I picked up my AS2).

Oh yeah, from what I've heard CS4's help sucks. I wasn't debating that

There's an app called "Doc?" that has a neat interface for accessing the Flash help (all offline). Trouble is, it's really hard to find because of its stupid, stupid name.
