Hey Manish The last part of your mail was very right.. as part of the phase-1, we are using flex only for ui rendering.. phase-2 would deal with moving some more logic into flex..
Coming to the code snippet that you sent.. do you think I can continue to use my javascript function and your mxmlcode.. I think NO.. can you suggest something so that my javascript function remains untouched i.e. it works on the id attribute of the parameter passed, and mxml passes a suitable value to it..

How are you calling the JavaScript function? http://www.moock.org/webdesign/flash/fscommand/ Disclaimer: I haven't tried this... You can access the button object in your Flex app simply by referring to it by its name. <mx:Application> <mx:Button id="Save" click="callExternalScriptFoo('Save')" /> </mx:Application> In your JS you can refer to the button using its id: // javascript function myFoo() { // flashMovie.Save is the button, where flashMovie // is the name/id of the Flex app (the SWF) } Of course, if you only want to know which button was clicked, you can just use the name passed to the JS function. BTW, it appears that you're using Flex _only for rendering the UI components_ and leaving the client-side logic to external JavaScript. Any reason why you can't port it to Flex (ActionScript)? Flex is more than just pretty buttons and menus. Manish Yahoo! Groups Links
