Hi I have a main swf file, called main.swf

then inside this i use the code

var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();  
myLoader.load(new URLRequest(“home.swf”));  
addChild(myLoader);

to load an external swf called home,

now when im in home.swf i want to use a button to access the myLoader in the main.swf

any help please?

function contact(event:MouseEvent):void  
{  
this.myLoader.load(new URLRequest(“contact.swf”));  
}

this accesses the property inside the main.swf itself  
but i want to access it from the home.swf

help please!
