Let me ask the question another way: how do I access movieClips and/or
TextFields within my custom TitleBackground _in_general_, regardless of
what I call them. Suppose there's a movieClip called "someClip" inside
my TitleBackground and I want to changes it's _visible prop. How do I
get a handle to this clip? Neither "window.TitleBackground.someClip"
nor "window.skinTitleBackground.someClip" seem to be "public". It's as
if I need to specify that they are public in an interface somewhere, but
I have no idea how?

Woops.. that's incorrect..
You need to have a textfield named "title_mc" ;-)
But again, you should probably leave it up to the Window to create the title
for you.

The Window component class takes care of creating a title for you.
You don't need to do anything, just set the .title property on the Window
instance.
If for some reason you want to put your own title textfield in the header, you'll need to have a movieclip (instance name
'title_mc') that contains a textfield (instance name 'text') inside your custom TitleBackground.
The textfield might get affected by the stretching of the TitleBackground
though, so not sure how well this will work out.

Subject: [Flashcoders] how to access custom TitleBackground
(skinTitleBackground) of Window
I've created a TitleBackground movieClip by following the instructions in the MX04 online help "To set the title of an Window
component to a custom movie clip symbol" (below). Now I'd like to make a call to a function inside of that clip or access
properties within that clip directly. The window has a property skinTitleBackground the value of which is an object of type
"TitleBackground", but TitleBackground doesn't have any public properties. Inside my TitleBackground movieClip there is a
TextField called "titleText" that I would like to be able to set the text of. So far the only way I've been able to change it is
by having a loop within the movieClip check on the value of an external variable. There should be another way, right?
