Accessing methods in external SWF

I’m pretty sure I am making this 100 times more difficult than it really is. Anyways, this is the gist of the situation. I am loading the external swf. I can see it once it has been loaded. But the problem lies in when I want to go externalSwf.getData() . getData() being just a simple public function in the external swf that traces “meow”. I keep getting the error getData is not a function. Any insight would be welcomed. Sorry for the lack of line breaks…I’m trying but once posted it just keeps pushing it all together

you must have used the loader class to load the swf, hence try:

loader.loadedContent.getData()
