Is there a way to call a public function or public property from a “loaded” SWF.

For example, if I have a **UILoader instance and it gets loaded** and some event was triggered inside that loaded SWF that **referenced a public function or public property** of the SWF that loaded it…ie. the **loader?**

the old way to do this would have been “parent” I believe, but I don’t know if you can do this any more? somebody help!
