Is there or is there not possible to access \_global variables between domains?

on [www.Domain1.com](http://www.Domain1.com) i have index.html and index.swf. Index.swf then loads main.swf from [www.Domain2.com](http://www.Domain2.com).

In index.swf i have a \_global variable that i want main to use. When calling for it all i get is undefined. The only way to access it is if i call for it using \_parent or \_root.

I have allowed the domains to communicate using  
System.security.allowDomain(“[http://www.Domain1.com](http://www.Domain1.com)”);  
System.security.allowDomain(“[http://www.Domain2.com](http://www.Domain2.com)”);

I have also put a crossdomain policy file on both servers…

But i dont really think this is a problem i can solve with cross domain policys since i CAN access the variables and functions using \_parent and \_root…or is it?
