I usually create such object in the main application and then use an
approach similar to Valdhor's (Steve isn't it? :-)
The component has private (or public) variable that references the
application one ie:
main.app:
var myGlobalObject:myObjectType
component:
var myGlobalObjectRef:myObjectType
and then <component myGlobalObjectRef="myGlobalObject" (this will need a
couple of bindable or meta tags cannot remember at the moment)
or better (i preffer actionscript)
the component has a start method of the type
start(globObject:myObjectType)
{
myGlobalObjectRef=globObject
}
and in amin.app on creationComplete or something similar call the start
method of the component passing the global var
