Use like this to access root from a movie clip
MovieClip(root).someThing;
For example suppose you have a text box in root with instance name txtAddress in your root. If you need to set the text of txtAddress from a movie clip the code should be like
MovieClip(root).txtAddress.text = "Some text here."
Thanks a ton buddy
Hi Abhilash, Glad to know it helped.
can you tell me how to access movie clip element from root
Give the movie clip an instance name and call by that name.
You can give the instance name from the properties panel of the movie clip.
