OK - I'm going about this problem from another angle. But I'm still scratching
my head. Same scenario - 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 (who calls the different
components) 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 every time I click the tab bar
options, the datagrid component is not triggering its "listening" function.
Below is the code. Any ideas why the component won't trigger the
refreshUserData when I am clicking the tab bar?
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>
