[flexcoders] call function in _root file from custom component

[bghoward3]

i am trying to target functions that i write in the main mxml file or 
in seperate files from a custom component, this situation happens to 
be a menubar. i am hoping somone can help me better understand how to 
target a function correctly.

if it was flash i could write somthing like _root.showLinks() or 
_parent.showLinks. or even ./showLinks

thanks for any tips
