Hi, I have a SWF file that I call the a parent, it imports a number of SWF(children) which I can switch through. Now my question is, **is it possible to have a function in the parent SWF that the child SWF can launch?**

The reason I need this is because each child SWF is a sort of small game, so when each game is finished I need some kind of way to let the parent SWF know that the player can continue.

Can anyone help me with this?🙂
