So, I am tryig to load text from the loaded xml file on the main.swf and target a text field in another loaded swf file

main.swf loads xml and loads external content.swf trying something like this:

function showPage() {  
stopAllSounds();  
\_level0.ui.content\_area.content.loadMovie(“content/” + contentItems[currentContentItem].attributes.FILENAME); //this part loads the external swf file  
\*\*this.body\_txt.htmlText = “com’on!!!”; //this part is not targeting the swf text field right?!?!?!  
\*\* if (contentItems[currentContentItem].attributes.audio != “”) {  
// create a new sound object  
var soundHolder = new Sound();  
// load mp3 into the sound object  
soundHolder.loadSound(“content/” + contentItems[currentContentItem].attributes.audio,false);  
// play the sound  
soundHolder.start(0,99999);  
}  
}

Seems like it is targetting body\_txt.html inside main.swf, not content.swf
