Hi Jonathan. Usually child SWFs can access parameters of the parent SWFs without problems. Just make sure that the child SWF is loaded and initialized and also, when you want to access the parameters of the parent SWF, you need to keep in mind that the direct parent of the child SWF is actually the Loader object that loaded it. So to get ahold of the parent you would use this.parent.parent["variableName"]. Where this is the instance of the child SWF, the first parent is a reference to the Loader object from the parent SWF and the second parent is actually the reference to the parent SWF. I hope this helps.

Thanks this is helpful. Do you know if there’s a global variable implementation in AS3?

Like say if you have 2 SWFs (parent and child) then you set a variable on the parent SWF and call it from the child SWF?

Thanks in advance :)
