OK - I'm going about this problem from another angle. But I'm still scratching
my head. Again- 2 components within the app. I have a tab bar in the main app
that users click to change to the different component views.
I came up with the idea to have the tab bar trigger an event - and the
component with the datagrid is set up to listen for that event. But that
doesn't seem to work either. While the main app is successfully dispatching my
event, the datagrid component is not triggering its "listening" function.
MAIN APPLICATION:
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function triggerEvent(event:Event):void {
var event:Event = new Event("clickAdminUser");
dispatchEvent(event);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:TabBar id="tbAdmin" direction="vertical" dataProvider="{viewStack}"
width="10%" paddingLeft="10" styleName="AdminTabBar"
itemClick="triggerEvent(event)" />
<mx:ViewStack id="viewStack" width="87%" height="99%" >
<components:AdminUser id="cUser" label="Users" width="100%"
height="100%" />
<components:AdminUserInput id="cUserInput" label="User Input"
width="100%" height="100%" />
</mx:ViewStack>
