Hello I have a .swf file. From there I use a MovieClip witch is associated with a class. The information is inside of a separate .as file. On Runtime i create several instances of this object. This all works.  
Now I would like to let functions inside of th .as file give access to variables set in the action layer on frame 1 where i handle the code that is associated with the .swf file. Or the other way around. Is there a way to manage this communication?

I hope it is understandable. 🙂  
regards.
