Add value to main timeline variable

hello…

I’m trying to add a value to a variable inside the Main .SWF from a loaded movie. More clearly,

My main movie name is Main.swf. On the main timeline of Main.Swf, I have a variable named currentMovie.

Now, I have other movies that are loaded into Main.swf. For example, cars.swf is loaded into Main.swf.

What I want to do is have code in cars.swf to add a value to the currentMovie variable in the Main.swf. I just need the correct syntax.

for example,:

MovieClip(parent.parent).currentMovie=“some_value”; is not working for me…

I just need some direction with the syntax…thanls for any help.
