managed to find that file, but it is still not working for my document.
I want to crossreference from about document, let's say, i want to
crossreference a.tex to b.tex, but they are in different directory.

xr.sty is part of the latex required tools. if your system does not
contain it, you have a defective system. a properly configured system
will provide both the package and its documentation.

so make the .aux file accessible; for example, have a tex inputs
variable looking something like
TEXINPUTS=.:/dir/that/contains/aux/file:
(that example assumes you're working on a un*x system).

directory b/ if i want to crossference from a.tex. Basically i need to put
them into the same directory.
I search about TEXINPUTS in google, but still can't figure out how to use
it. I think TEXINPUTS can just put this line into b.tex so that i can
called a.aux, but i don't know how to use it.
Thankx

Use the xr package as pointed out in the other threads, or use
xr-hyper for hyperlinked refs with hyperref.
A small example:
(a) write the following two tex file, docA.tex and docB.tex
(b) put both files in the same directory, otherwise the path
must be specified as part of the xr header.
(c) run pdfLaTeX twice on both filles. First on docA and then on docB.
docB reads docA.aux to get label info.
%%%%% docA.tex %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
This is a test for math.
\begin{equation}
E=mc^2 \label{eq:1}
\end{equation}
\clearpage
This is a second test for math.
\setcounter{equation}{5}
\begin{equation}
r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \label{eq:2}
\end{equation}
\end{document}
%%%%% docB.tex %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xr-hyper}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\externaldocument[A-]{docA}[docA.pdf]% <- full or relative path
\begin{document}
As was shown in Eq.~\ref{A-eq:1} is it ...
\clearpage
... or in Eq.~\ref{A-eq:2} is ...
\end{document}

I hope it helps

It is working, but my problem is i don't put docA.tex and docB.tex into
the same directory, how do i modify xr.sty? Or do i need to use TEXINPUTS?
which i don't know how to use either. Thankx for your help

and docB in docB/ directory. In this case, how do i use \externaldocument.
You mentioned that \externaldocument[A-]{docA}[docA.pdf]% <- full or
relative path,
I do this, \externaldocument[A-]{docA}[../docA.pdf]
it is not working.
Thankx alot.

According to your explanation, from docB, docA is at ../docA/docA.pdf.
This may explain why \externaldocument[A-]{docA}[../docA.pdf] isn't
working.
(Also, please don't top-post; that is, please put your reply below the
text that you're quoting, and quote only the relevant bits, as I've done
here.)

The format for \externaldocument is
\externaldocument[<refprefix>]{<aux-file>}[<pdf-file>]
Note that you must use the same relative directory structure for your
document development and you final distribution setup!
For a directory structure
./docAdir/docA.tex
./docBdir/docB.tex
you will use inside docB for references to docA:
\externaldocument[A-]{../docAdir/docA}[../docAdir/docA.pdf]

It is working now if i use \usepackage{xr-hyper}, but it is not working
when i use \usepackage{xr}, which i downloaded xr.sty from google. Because
in my document, i am not using hyperref, i just need to cross-reference
from different documents in different directory.
The errors it gave me was :
IMPORTING LABELS FROM ../docA/docA.aux
! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.
...
l.4 \externaldocument[A-]{../docA/docA}[

xr and xr-hyper is part of the base LaTeX distro?

Please read the documentation in the file xr.sty. It is in the begining of
the file and in plain English! The documentation states the format for xr
is:
\extenaldocument[<refprefix>]{<./path/to/aux-file>}
It do not have the [<url>] part at the end.
