Oups sorry, I thought you were talking about 2 swf on the same page.

Just put \_level0 in front of the variables to talk to the main movie from the loaded movie.

Put some vars in \_root (=\_level0 :)) and then use if statements to change or check for current value. Maybe [this thread](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22412) can help (scroll down a bit)
