Willem,. Here is the full scenario. I have a swfLoading class which loads SWF for me. Once the swf is loaded say a ball. I want to click on different colors and change the color of the stripes on the ball.
Now, with what you said I can access things once they are loaded. The load complete function is in my swfLoading class. But at that time, I do not want to change the colors. But I need to change the colors of the ball at some later time.
