(MX 2004)

I have a flash file that imports an external SWF.

More specifically, the main flash loads, then an image (another SWF) loads inside that file.

Is there a way to manipulate the image from within the first flash file?

For instance, the image is a movie clip with instance name "pano." Ideally, I'd like to call it like _root.panoLoader.panoGoesHere.pano and work with it that way, but this doesn't appear to be working. Am I doing something wrong?

I've right-clicked on the movie clip and said "Export for ActionScript" with the identifier "panoMainEntrance."
