[osflash] Communication between swf's

[David Rorex]

A mtasc-compiled SWF works pretty much just like a flash IDE-compiled
swf. How you 'communicate' between them, depends on your application.

Is one swf loading the other via loadMovie()? Are they two different
swfs on the same html page? Are they running on the same PC? there are
many questions that influence how they communicate.

How would you communicate between two flash IDE-compiled swfs?
Probably the answer will also work for your situation. (Assuming you
do all your code in external AS2 .as files, and not strewn around on
the timeline, etc)
