Access movieclip inside external swf

programming flash
1

Hi all,

I am loading an external swf into my main swf. From my main swf I am trying to access a movieclip inside the external swf.

My code:


trace(contentLoader.getChildByName("mask_mc").y);
trace(contentLoader.getChildByName(event.target.mask_mc.name).x);

(contentLoader is my loader, the mc iam trying to access is mask_mc)

Would very much appreciate if anyone could help me in the right direction.

thanx
