[Flashcoders] Flex3: how to refer the child canvas of a TabNavigator

[Alexander Farber]

Hello,

not sure if Flex questions are allowed here?

Why can't I refer to the tabs.table.spriteHolder.addChild(sprite);
below? If I remove the TabNavigator and all Canvases, then
spriteHolder.addChild(sprite); will work just fine:

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute"
    creationComplete="onCreationComplete();">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            private function onCreationComplete():void
            {
                var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
                var g:Graphics = sprite.graphics;

                g.lineStyle(1, 0xFF0000);
                g.beginFill(0xFF0000);
                g.drawCircle(200, 200, 20);
                g.endFill();

                tabs.table.spriteHolder.addChild(sprite);
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>

        <mx:TabNavigator id="tabs" width="100%" height="100%">
                <mx:Canvas label="Tab1" width="100%" height="100%">
                </mx:Canvas>
                <mx:Canvas label="Tab2" id="table" width="100%" height="100%">
                </mx:Canvas>
                    <mx:UIComponent id="spriteHolder" width="100%" 
height="100%"/>
        </mx:TabNavigator>
</mx:Application>

Regards
Alex
