I don't usually call methods directly on loaded SWF's. Try decoupling it more by creating some kind of interface or by dispatching events. Maybe you could make use of a MVC framework such as pixlib (the best for flash at the moment), this would make your app much more maintanable, flexible and scalable.

This discussion seems pretty informative, but unfortunately, much of it is over my head. I'm having trouble resolving scope. I can iterate through the movieclips in my loaded swf, but I don't seem to be able to call properties or methods. Can someone point me in the right direction on this?
