Accessing non-visual module

[mark goldin <ma...@gmail.com>]

I am creating mx applications that all would share some common data. I am
thinking to make a mx:Module to be a loader for that data. I have designed
one and here is my code:
private var info:IModuleInfo;

info = ModuleManager.getModule("dataLoader.swf");
info.addEventListener(ModuleEvent.READY, modEventHandler);
info.load(null, null, null, moduleFactory);

private function modEventHandler(event:ModuleEvent):void {
this.createComponentsFromDescriptors(true);
        var globalArea:dataLoader = info.factory.create() as dataLoader;
}
While globalArea has all public properties of dataLoader they are all null.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Using a class in the loading SWF defeats the purpose of modules as the
class will be linked into the loading SWF as well as the module.  So if
dataLoader is a class and not an interface, you must define an interface
to use to communicate.

I don’t know why the properties are null though.
