It depends. In my case, I've segmented the application up so that
accessing data in the loaded swf by the parent view is not necessary.
This is achieved because the initial view is a loggon page and the swf
to load is dependent on the users group id. So basically each swf is a
standalone app.

I don't know because I've have had problems in understanding automatic
loading, that I opted for manual loading.
