I actually figured this out right after I asked but I did it a different way.
It does basically the same thing though.
Here is an example:
<!My application page (TestApp.mxml)-- >
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" xmlns:Weee="*" initialize="SetVar()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
function SetVar(){
MyTest.MyValue = "Rararararar";
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<Weee:MyTestComp id="MyTest" />
</mx:Application>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<!My component file (MyTestComp.mxml)-->
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml" width="400" height="400">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
var MyValue:String = "BlahBlah"
function set MyOtherValue(NewValue):Void {
mx.core.Application.alert('The new value is: '+MyValue);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:Binding source="MyValue" destination="MyOtherValue" />
</mx:VBox>
