flash actionscript: [quoted text, click to view]

Need to see your loading code. If you loaded into a movieclip, that
clip's instance name has to be used in the reference.
(not name.. instance name)
Also, you cannot call a function that hasn't loaded yet. Are you
waiting long enough?

In my top.swf, I have a Loader named "loader" to load another movie
called inner.swf. In inner.swf, there is a function called setValue(). I
want to call this function in top movie, but

Generally this is a data communications timing problem The inner.swf frame
containing the function is not loaded when top.swf is calling it.

You will need a preloader to determine when the frame with setValue is
loaded.

_root.loader.setValue("myValue") does not seem to work. What's wrong?
