When I try to set a dataProvider to something in the _global space, I get: Changes to unknown property, _global, will not be detected. Changes to unknown property, blah, will not be detected.
Is there a concept of _global in Flex? I don't think so.
I really need to put some objects in a "global" area so that I don't have to pass them around between different areas of my application using events.
You're really passing only object _references_ around. It's not that bad.
You can store global data in your Application and access the application object using Application.application or UIObject.parentApplication.
