Hi,

Can I call a variable declared in a SWF, and call the same variable into another SWF, when i am loading it using XML.

I am declaring a variable in the “Child movie”, and am loading this “Child movie” into a “Parent movie” using XML. Can I retrieve the variable declared in the “Child movie” in the “Parent movie”.
