I think I need more help on this one :-( I found getElementAt(), getElementIndex() etc in the GraphicElement->ContentElement class, but not sure how to relate any of this to the loaded .fxg object:
If I go to this.contentGroup __mxmlContent ____[0] VGroup (button group) ____[1] displayGroup (Group var containing .fxg object for display) ______mxmlContent ________[0].fxg Object __________myGroup1 __________myGroup2 etc I still arrive at this mxmlContent array of 1 row containing the .fxg object with all the groups I want to reference. Any kind of getElementAt() at this level throws an index error talking about unknown mxml content. Am I even interrogating the correct instance?
