Lets say you have two files; base.mxml, and popup.mxml.
You can achieve this using Events. basically you write a function in
your base.mxml, which is then called when you want to divert
attention to base.mxml file from popup.xml
In your popup.mxml, you do the following:
1) Register the Event like this:
<mx:Metadata>
[Event(name="eventListener_UpdateAvailability", type="Event")]
</mx:Metadata>
2) Write a function in popup.mxml, which you can call on any button
action, or whatever your case maybe:
private function signalUpdate():void {
// create an event to send out to tell the parent app
// to collect the message.
var outgoingEvent:Event
= new Event("eventListener_UpdateAvailability",false);
dispatchEvent(outgoingEvent);
}
Hope it helps.
