hello guys i’ve a small problem  
simply i have two movie clips:  
1.main.swf  
2.inner.swf  
i’m adding the inner.swf somewhere in the main.swf using addChild (and it’s added successfully).  
all i want to do is to pass a parameter to the inner.swf  
or make the inner.swf reads a root value from main.swf

all i know is that in AS2 it was as simple as \_root.x but here in AS3 i think it’s more complicated  
please help me mates
