Is there or is there not possible to access _global variables between domains?

on www.Domain1.com i have index.html and index.swf. Index.swf then loads main.swf from www.Domain2.com.

In index.swf i have a _global variable that i want main to use. When calling for it all i get is undefined. The only way to access it is if i call for it using _parent or _root.

I have allowed the domains to communicate using
System.security.allowDomain("http://www.Domain1.com");
System.security.allowDomain("http://www.Domain2.com");

I have also put a crossdomain policy file on both servers..

But i dont really think this is a problem i can solve with cross domain policys since i CAN access the variables and functions using _parent and _root...or is it?

Variables in flash are Client-Side. If the swf form domain2 gets loaded then you must have access to the variables too.
It must be a path problem.

are you sure this applies to _global variables as well? I cant see that i would use the wrong path for a _global variable ....since its supposed to be accessed globally

When you asked me this way.. I kind of lost my confidence :D
What I mean by client side is that if we have a flash .. we both access.. and I at my computer set a _global variable, there's no way for you to read, even if you use the same client, if I don't send the variable to the server. If it reaches the server.. then ... yes.. it's server side.. and anybody could read it
