[Xerte] Xerte3: Is it possible to get the parent DisplayObjectinproperties of a child?

[Julian Tenney]

It would be possible to create some tokens in the parser, so that you
had references to the parent of the current Icon. We'd have to be
careful with the language though, as parent will mean something
different than what you describe in the engine's context.

currentParent or something like that might work quite well.

SWFLoader also has the addChild() method, so I think it should be
possible to add other icons. And it works great! 

Just in principle if you have a structure like

icon1
-- icon2

Is there a way other than using an event (e.g. creationComplete) to
access the properties of icon1 from icon2 without using the iconID. E.g.
set width property of icon2 = {parent.width} which should be the width
of icon1?
