If you're requiring a passed instance and hard-coding the method it calls, than yes, the flexibility is lost. But this method is just a flexible and doesn't require listeners:
Component reference var: public var onSubmit:Function; Set the reference: myComponent.onSubmit = myFunction; To trigger inside the component: onSubmit.call(); !k _____ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Harui Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2008 1:50 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Re: how to call a function in a popup parent?
