A quick test shows that what you want is do-able. :)
This works:
In a child swf (to be loaded) I used:
function mapThis(){
trace(mapThis() called);
}
function mapThat(){
trace(mapThat() called);
}
_global.mapage = {};// new Object
_global.mapage.mapThis = mapThis;
_global.mapage.mapThat = mapThat;
Then in a parent swf (to load child) I used:
loadee.loadMovie(Child.swf);
aButton.onRelease = function(){
mapage.mapThis();
mapage.mapThat();
}
I suspect you may be overwriting your functions such that _global.gMap is
left with only the last one you assigned to it.

Subject: [Flashcoders] mc loads, has a global
ok - still with this app.
I have a map that I'm loading externally - map.swf. In it I'm setting
all kinds of stuff using
_global.gMap(all kinds of functions)
The main swf that loads in this clip, once it's loaded with a
moviecliploader -- I try to trigger one of the functions via
gMap.showMap() - but the loaded movieclip doesn't trigger anything,
though it IS loaded.
I thought globals were globals - if a loaded clip creates a new
_global object, that the parent clip could trigger it as well?
