I wasted almost two weeks trying to pass data between parent & child swfs until I read your article.

It worked. I don’t understand what “casting” means but it got me past the road block. My example looked like:

stop();
trace(“we are at the end”);
(this.parent as MovieClip).beach2_mc.visible = true;
(this.parent as MovieClip).beach2_mc.play();

I still don’t like AS3, it’s way over blown for making simple animations…

I’m new to actionscript so even though the focus of your article was to explain why the parent method for as3 is better, I learned what it means to actually access a parent class.

I was looking how to do it correctly in AS3 and not just turning off the strict mode.
