Access child.swf function from parent.swf

1

I have to access a function in child swf from parent swf. This child swf gets loaded into a canvas object in parent.swf. Everything works fine but I’m unable to call any function that was in child.swf.
My code is


    var swf1:SWFLoader = new SWFLoader();
    swf1.source = "CHILD.swf";    
    can.addchild(swf1);

I read on google and then I tried this in parent.swf’s code


    var myrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("CHILD.swf");
    var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
    myloader.load(myrequest);
    canvas.addchild(myloader);

Now this one throws up a runtime error TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.display::Loader@5934b01 to mx.core.IUIComponent.

I also tried this


    var myrequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("CHILD.swf");
    var myloader:Loader = new Loader();
    myloader.load(myrequest);

     var uic:UIComponent = new UIComponent();                
     uic.addChild(myloader);                
     canvas.addChild(uic);

But in this case my swf does not show up at all and there are no runtime errors too!

How do I resolve this error and how do I then access the function in child.swf?

PLEASE HELP GUYS…
