Component Communication between SWF's

[FONT=Arial]Hi. I’m building an online store in Flash and I’m working on the shopping cart. I use many different loaded swfs throughout the site to handle the main part of the site, each sub-section, and then sub-sections within the sub-sections. I have an item swf that contains combo box components to allow someone to select Color, Size, etc… for the item. Then there is an Add to Cart button that collects all of the data from the item page. On another swf I have a dataGrid that I want to store the added item information in for the shopping cart. For some reason I cannot get the components in the two swfs to communicate. I have placed the dataGrid in the item timeline and I can get it to work that way. I also use some basic actions like gotoAndStop from the item swf that controls the swf the shopping cart is on and those actions work, so it doesn’t seem like a path problem. I guess my main question is, can components accept data from other swfs? Thanks for any help.[/FONT]
