Re: [flexcoders] Re: accessing a different component once inside one of them

What you are trying to do would not work as far I as know.
What you shoud be doing is creating an eventListener in myComp1 like below.

<mx:Metadata>
    [Event("changeSelection")]
</mx:Metadata>

Then pass that event to the main app using
dispatchEvent({type:"changeSelection", variables});

Your function changeStack should be in the mainApp.

In your main app, you should be able to consume this event.

Maybe there are better ways using delegates. But this should get you started.
I suggest you read the "Developing Flex Applications" help doc.

Thanks

main.mxml
<mx:Application....
....<mx:Panel>
        <mx:ViewStack id="vsl">
           <comp:myComp1 id="myComp1"/>
           <comp:myComp2 id="myComp2"/>
        </mx:ViewStack>
     </mx:Panel>

myComp1:
<mx:VBox....
    <mx:Script...
        function changeStack():Void{
           vsl.selectedChild = ???? //doesn't know what is vsl!!
        }
