I’m sorry if this has been answered 1,000 times, but I am so confused with everything!! :d:

In the main timeline of my movie, I have a container movieclip called “content”. I want to load an external swf into content, and then access the functions in that swf.

I can load it no problem, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to access the functions, I can’t seem to find it anywhere! Please help!!
