Angry sending variables from main movie to a loaded swf file

I need help in sending variables from a main movie to a movie (swf format) which is loaded on to the main movie.
I have loaded the movie by using loadmovie function.
The loaded movie has some textfields(input type) with variable names stored in each of the fields.
The movie is in swf format and is loaded on to the main movie.
Now if I have to dynamically set the data for the variables of the field how can I pass them to the loaded movie so that the data passed can be loaded in those text fields
Please help me

Default

loaded onto a level or into a movie clip?

onto a level you can use

_level1.variablename

as your path and manipulate it as you normally would

loaded into a mc you would use

_root.mcName.variableName

also see the paths tutorial

Angry thanks for the reply......but?

You see, the loaded movie is stored in place of another movie clip in the main frame,
I do know how to pass the variable according to your tutorial, but will this technique work the same way in this situation? because it dosen't seem to work any suggestions?
Please do help me out here
