I am doing what I believe to be a very simple operation, but am running into difficulties. I have two swfs, each contain 4 TextInputs and a submit button. I am loading the text entered on swf1 into an array, and then loading swf2 into an empty movie clip. I ultimately want to be able do something like this when the second swf is loaded: swf2.TextInput.text = swf1.array[0].text; Seems simple enough, but I cannot access the paths of the instance names in swf2, I just get undefined everytime. I have tried so many traces I am going crazy. Any assistance is much appreciated. My code is as follows:

var aComic:Array = new Array();  
function loadarray(){  
for(i=0;i\<4;i++){  
aComic.push(this[“cdata”+i]);  
}  
}

function apiclipload(){  
trace(“this in mx.Delegate is :”+this); //Outputs \_level0  
trace("this.container is: "+this.container); //Outputs \_level0.container  
trace("this.container.e\_title.\_target is: "+this.container.e\_title.\_target); //undefined???  
}

function loadAPImc(){  
var listener:Object = new Object();  
var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();  
var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,this);

trace("  
Container after createmove clip is: "+this.container); //Outputs \_level0.container  
trace(“this in mcLoader function is :”+this); //Outputs \_level0  
mcLoader.addListener(listener);  
mcLoader.loadClip(“form2.swf”, container);  
listener.onLoadComplete = mx.utils.Delegate.create(this,apiclipload);  
}

submit.onRelease = function(){  
loadarray();  
for(i=0;i\<aComic.length;i++){  
trace("  
aComic\* is: “+aComic\*); //Outputs cdata1 … cdata4 as it should.  
trace(”  
aComic\*.text is: "+aComic\*.text); //Outputs text entered into Inputs  
}  
loadAPImc();  
}
