If I run this on flash1.swf

```auto
_root.container.loadMovie("enemy.swf");

```

Then on the second one I have a movie clip with this

```auto
onClipEvent (load) {
	_root.enemyname = "Dragon";
	_root.enemydef = 5;
}

```

Then back on flash1.swf why can’t I do trace(\_root.enemydef); I get undefined.
