if I got correctly the point, you're asking:
can I access children of an external swf loaded at any level into my
project via MovieClip.loadMovie() or MovieClipLoader.loadClip()?
If not, sorry for bothering
If yes, I think: sure you can, as long as you know their instance name.
If you don't, you'll have to work them out:
loadedMovie.loadMovie("externalSwf.swf");
/*
* now loadedMovie and externalSwf timelines overlap; if you know the
child's instance name the work is done.
* if you don't I'll do like this (but chances are ways are better than
this one):
* try to provide some <test_code> that lets you find in a not ambiguos
way the desired child mc among other children mcs
*/
var desiredChildMovieClip:MovieClip;
for (var i in loadedMovie) {
if(test_code) {
desiredChildMovieClip = loadedMovie[i];
}
}
/*
* so desiredChildMovieClip is the child you were looking for.
* if there's no such <test_code> thing, sorry I have no idea..
*/

You need to import one movieclip from the child swf into the parent
swf's library & have it placed on the stage / inside a movieclip that is
exported for actionscript to have access to all of the elements in the
child swf's library.

Subject: [Flashcoders] newbie: nested clips and LoadMovie
Hello
Is it possible to access (duplicate and use) clips nested inside another
clip you've loaded into a movie via LoadMovie (or using the
MovieClipLoader).
For example, if I want to maintain a clip external to my main flash
project
that has a bunch of misc graphics - after I've loaded this external
clip,
can I duplicate these graphics somehow and attach them to clips in the
main
project? The purpose of this would be to load all of these graphics all
in
one shot, as opposed to loading them individually.
>From playing around with it - it seems as though the loaded clip is
treated
as an independent media element, with no access to it's children. Is
this
correct?
Thanks,
August
