The application object holds references to these objects using their
ids. Think of the application object like this:
class MyApplication extends Application {
var vbox:VBox; // refers to <mx:VBox id="vbox">
}
So you can get to the vbox by looking it up in the application object:
import mx.core.Application;
var vboxId:String = "vbox";
trace(Application.application[vboxId].height); // height of
<mx:VBox id="vbox">
You can do this from anywhere in the your application. You have to be
careful when you have nested applications though --
Application.application refers to the _top-level_ application. See
also: UIObject.parentApplication.
