Hi,

I've coded this small snippet to show what I'm not understanding:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="init()">
    <mx:Script>
    public function init():void {
        txtName.text = this.loaderInfo.toString();
    }
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:TextInput x="50" y="10" id="txtName"/>
</mx:Application>

I'm getting the following error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at Teste/init()[C:\Lucas\flex\AppName\src\Teste.mxml:5]
    at Teste/___Teste_Application1_creationComplete()[C:\User\flex\CornetaRecorder\src\Teste.mxml:2]

    at mx.core::UIComponent/callLaterDispatcher()[C:\autobuild\3.2.0\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\core\UIComponent.as:8568]

Shouldn't I be able to read loaderInfo inside the creationComplete handler? I'm trying to pass a string from the html to my flash component, that's why I have to get loaderInfo working.
