Hi! Is there a way or is it possible for twoor more \*\*swf \*\*files communicating? Example, if I have test1.swf and test.swf, test1.swf can change the variable values in test2.swf or vice versa without reloading. Is this possible? How? Thanks.

I don`t think so - there is a simple example here

> **[Communication between multiple SWFs on a page](https://www.kirupa.com/forum/showthread.php?t=184333)**
>
> Got a web design/development question or just want to hang out with the most awesome people on the planet? Drop on in!

BTW/I am assuming the swfs are seperate and not loaded into a mother clip or each other??

no problem

@Krilnon - sorry K, I did know of your tutorial but presumed it was a little too advanced for this sort of thing
