Hi All,

I have a _loadedSwf_ that i loaded into my _mainSwf_. I’m trying to do some aligning with some objects in my _loadedSwf_ file, but they’re only referencing the stage of the \*loadedSwf \*so the alignment is off. Is there a way to refer to the stage of the _mainSwf_? I tried using parent that didn’t seem to work. All the searches i found were aligning to the _loadedSwf_ which isn’t quite what i want.
