I want to access a MovieClip in another scene than I'm currently in.

More specific I want to set a TextField to a certain value from a "preloader"-scene. This is for handling totally dynamic language phrases. Maybe this is the wrong way.

I'm loading a XML with language phrases that I want to replace the textfields with.

We could do this by altering all MovieClips, but I think this could be a smart solution, if it's possible! :)
