I think I found the problem.

All these errors were initially caused by case sensitiveness!!!

Tests will come later.

That message appears when a MOVIECLIP-type as_value is attempted to be converted to a sprite_instance. These are the soft-references you probably heard about.

These soft references (as_values) store the target path of a character. They may become non-dangling again if the target
ends up pointing to something again.

See tests in MovieClip.as
BTW, comments in that file says we still didn't get them right...

see attached swf file: levOilyStratum.swf

The orignal link is:

http://www.levitated.net/daily/levOilyStratum.swf

When play it with -v option, I got lots of messages like "ERROR: MovieClip value is a dangling reference ... "

Just for the record, need more investigation later.
