One use of this technique is to have an old application dynamically loading a newer version of the same application

without conflict. There is no conflict because although the same class names are used, they are partitioned into

different application domains.

The following code creates an application domain that is a child of the system domain, and starts loading a SWF

using that application domain:

var appDomainA:ApplicationDomain = new ApplicationDomain();

var contextA:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, appDomainA);

var loaderA:Loader = new Loader();

loaderA.load(new URLRequest("application2.swf"), contextA); ...
