Once an external swf is loaded onto my currently running swf using the Loader class:

1. Can the loaded swf access properties of the swf that loaded it?
2. Can the swf that perform the loading access properties of the loaded swf?

If any or both of the above is true, I would also appreciate a word or two about the process of access the other swf’s properties/methods.

Thanks.
