Flash MX: Keeping track of popup windows

Flash MX: Keeping track of popup windows

If the SWFs are talking to one another or to the main movie, it is easy to just stick _root. in front of the variable names. Then everyone can talk to everyone else.

If your pop-ups are in fact HTML pop-ups (it sounds like maybe that is the case), then I do not think the HTML can talk back to your SWFs, unless you are using localConnection.
