I’m having an issue where I have a holder swf that loads an other swf. I want to call functions from the other swf in the holder. I’m not as fluent in AS 2.0 doing this and it has to be done in AS 2.0.

Any insight can help.

Obviously trying

```auto
otherSWF.function();

```

doesnt work. Any help would be amazing.
