[thelist] [Flash] ::: External .swf ::: Access to "parent" object model

[Russ]

I'm not sure if I'm entirely following you, but it might be as simple as
referencing that second external .swf to _root.name level = 0 so it will
replace what's on the "main" stage.

At least, I think that's what I'm understanding you're asking for.  I
think.
