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

[Peter Huppertz]

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?
