The custom class that has the button event is a composite class inside
another class (we'll call that MainInterActive class). MainInterActive is
than instantiated in a main mxml application inside a state node. I could
try what you mentioned but the composite classes' buttons are not really
available to the main application. Unless there is a way I could subscribe
to that button, although it is a child of the child class in
MainInterActive.
The reason why I'm not creating the buttons using mxml is because they are
doing some funky animations.
thanks for your help on this, any ideas for a resolution on accessing the
button or buttons event?
