Application.application should work also.

Thanks Adrian! that will do the trick. 

In the meantime, I also found another way, not as elegant as yours

 

//inside the fla

var myParent = loaderInfo.loader.parent.parent;
 myParent.doSomething('do it');

 

thanks again

This is pretty straightforward. We do a lot of this in our dashboard app
where we have a function called registerSWF( ).  This helps us keep tabs on
all the swf objects that are loaded on the dash.

private var registeredSWF: ArrayCollection = new
ArrayCollection( );
public function registerSWF( swf:Object) :void
{
registeredSWF. addItem(swf) ;
}

Each child swf calls this functions when they load:

application. registerSWF( this);

Then, when we need to access a function from within the child swf, we pull
it from the AC (so we can reference it) and directly call the function:

for each (var swf:Object in registeredSWF)
{
swf.someFunction( vars);
}

Keep in mind that the function in your child swf must be in the public scope
or the parent app cannot see it.

HTH,
Adrian

Anyone know how I can do this ?

thanks!
