So in the parent movie if you have a function:

function calledFromChild():void
{
trace("function called from child movie");
}

Then in the child movie:

MovieClip(this.parent.parent).calledFromChild();

var textLdr:Loader = new Loader();
var noteUrl:String = "AddNote.swf";
var noteUrlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest(noteUrl);
textLdr.load(noteUrlReq);

addChild(textLdr);
//target the property or variable in the loaded .swf
textLdr.x = 50;
textLdr.someVariable;
