Hi…  
I’ve made a custom class that displays a panorama within my panorama.swf file. I’ve loaded my panorama.swf into a mc within my main.swf.  
all this works great… what id like to do though, is to create a variable within my main.swf that i can relate to within my class…

Does anyone know how to refer to the main timeline from a class within a swf nested in a mc??

thanks everyone
