There is only one stage object, and it is always inherited from the root. Anytime you can access the property “stage” inside a DisplayObject (Sprite,MovieClip) it’s actually just a reference to the root.stage that gets populated whenever that DisplayObject is added to the root stage, or a child of some object that eventually connects to the stage (the display list). The display list is just an object tree of various display objects that are connected to the root stage. Anyway so, about your question, if you just want to listen for events on your loaded swf do something like this:

var loader:Loader = new Loader();

loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadComplete);

loader.load(new URLRequest("swf2.swf"));

private function loadComplete(e:Event):void
{
    var swf2Clip:MovieClip = loader.content as MovieClip;
    swfClip.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_OUT, onMouseOut);
}

private function onMouseOut(e:MouseEvent):void
{
    //Do something when swf2 is moused out.
}
