I have a frame which contains an mcMenubar MovieClip. On the frame, I have this code:


import Nem.*
import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
import fl.motion.Color;

var pageLoader:SwfLoader = new SwfLoader(root, 199, 144);

On the mcMenubar clip, I want to access that same pageLoader instance:


var pageFile:String = "page-" + e.target.name.replace(/btn/gi, "").toLowerCase() + ".swf";
this.parent.loadPage("loadertest.swf"); // THIS WON'T WORK //
var tweenMove:Tween = new Tween(gfxSelected, "x", Bounce.easeOut, gfxSelected.x, e.target.x, 1, true);
currentlySelected = e.target.name;

Apparently I'm getting this error:

TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
    at MethodInfo-71()

How can I fix this?
