Hi,

I have a **main.swf** file. From that file I am accessing the **external.swf** file which is an external file.

Now, how can I write code on my **main.swf** file for the button which is on my **external.swf** file?

Activities.MainPanel.close\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, btnClickClose);

**[COLOR=#ff0000]Activities.MainPanel.close\_btn[/COLOR]** (This buttons is actually on **external.swf** file, but I want to write code on **main.swf** file to execute it on **external.swf** ) how can I control one [COLOR=#ff0000] **swf** [/COLOR] button on other \*\*[COLOR=#ff0000]swf [/COLOR]\*\*file?

Thanks.
