Sample Application: ReferenceSampleSWF

A. Overview

This application is a SWF that displays an orange rectangle.  It is used by the ReferenceSample
application to demonstrate how one MediaElement can reference another MediaElement.

The compiled SWF has also been posted publicly, and the URL of that SWF is referenced within the
ReferenceSample application, so there's no need to compile and run this application (unless you want
to modify the overlay SWF to look or behave differently).

B. Installation Instructions (Flex Builder)

Note: These instructions are only necessary if you want to modify the SWF used in the ReferenceSample
application.
