Ok, I have a main swf(parent) and a sub swf(child) that I have loaded into the parent swf. I am trying to make a button in the child swf effect the parent swf. I mainly want the child swf to communicate with the parent and tell it to make a movie clip visible and start to play.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
