Singletons Data Models. An interaction in Mainbox sets a property in the model that other views like LoginBox are listening to.
You'll also be happier the day you try to wire up the BrowserManager to handle backbutton and deep linking if you have a central data model.

The ViewStack has 2 children: SplashBox and MainBox. SplashBox has a VBox, which has an Accordion, which has two children, LoginBox and AccountCreateBox. In MainBox I trigger a logoutEvent by clicking a button. Among other things, I want to clear the fields in LoginBox as a result of this event. The only way that I have found to do this is to have an init() function in LoginBox that is called on creationComplete and looks like this: private function init():void{ parent.parent.parent.parent.parent.addEventListener("logoutEvent",clearFields); } This seems inelegant and awkward. If I make any changes in my structure, I'm going to have to remember to change the init function as well. Is there a better way? TIA! LG
