Understanding Global Functions

Hey all,

I’m having a little trouble. I am trying to figure out how global functions work and how to write them. Basically calling a function that exisits in the main swf from the loaded swf.

Is the function declared global (and how) or is the call to that function global.

I know it’s best practice to keep everything on the main timeline, but for designing this I need to keep the two seperate for a bit. So where is the _global called? I’ve searched through the forums but can’t seem to find th solution.

I am using Flash 8 for both swf’s.

Thanks!
