Help!!! Please!!!

I am working on a Flash website and have run into a snag and need help FAST.

I have a SWF that I am loading using the Loader object. It is a series of thumbnail photos and I want to be able to load the full-size image into the main Flash file when a user clicks on one of the thumbnails. How do I reference the main Flash file that the external SWF file is loaded into?

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Did you try using "_level0" ? It refers to the root level of the "main" movie and from there you can refer to whatever movie clip you want.

chordol, thanks for the tip but it didn't work.

My problem is that in order to use the imported SWF file via the Loader, I have to first publish the file. When I try and publish it, it gives me an "unknown property - _level0" error because, at that point, there is no _level0 I suppose.

I really need a solution to this so if anyone out there has anything for me, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

I may be mistaken but the root is referred to as _root.

I was successfully using _level0 in your scenario to communicate from a loaded movie with a main movie in AS 2.0.
What AS version are you using?
And yes, root is referred as _root, but in case you use it from a externaly loaded movie it would refer to it's own root and not the main movies root.
_level0 is there to solve that problem by referring to the root level of the top level movie.
