Here is a small sample of my code. The Page Class is created in a module
called Journal. The function to update the text of the TextArea is in
the Journal so I dont think 'this' will work.
...
public function updateText(e:FocusEvent):void {
var uj:JournalEvent = new
JournalEvent(JournalEvent.UPDATE);
uj.body = e.currentTarget.text;
uj.entryID = ; // *Here is my Problem*
dispatchEvent(uj);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:DateFormatter id="df" formatString="M/DD/YYYY" />
<!-- BOOK STARTS HERE -->
<rs:Book id="myBook" x="{Math.round(this.width/2-400)}" y="10"
width="800" height="500"
openAt="0" autoFlipDuration="600" easing="0.7" regionSize="150"
sideFlip="true" hardCover="true" hover="true" snap="false"
flipOnClick="true" dropShadowEnabled="true" dropShadowColor="0x000000"
borderColor="0x000000" shadowDirection="right" shadowDistance="5"
borderStyle="solid" borderThickness="1">
<!--Book Cover *This is mxml version of the pages I am adding through
ActionScript and need to update*.-->
<rs:Page>
<mx:Image source="@Embed('assets/img/sumeco/dreamscan.jpg')" />
<mx:TextArea y="30" horizontalCenter="0" text="My Journal"
fontFamily="Georgia"/>
<mx:Label left="30" right="30" y="90" fontFamily="Arial" fontSize="12"
color="#000000" textAlign="center" text="By
{UserDataModel.getInstance().firstName}" />
</rs:Page>

If you have:
Public class Page
{
private var myTextArea:TextArea;
private var journalID:String;
override protected function createChildren():void
{
myTextArea = new TextArea();
myTextArea.addEventListener(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT,
myFocusOutHandler);
}
private function myFocusOutHandler(event:FocusEvent):void
{
// the ‘this’ pointer is the instance of Page
// event.currentTarget is the TextArea
journalID = TextArea(event.currentTarget.text);
}
}

I have an instance of a Class (Page) which has a textarea on it

editable. I added an eventlistener to the TextArea for
FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT. When the FocusEvent (e) gets to the hander,
I can
use e.currentTarget to get the value of the TextArea, but I need a
value
in a variable in the same instance of the Page Class (journalID).
I have
been looking through the debugger but I cannot figure out how to get
that value.
Long story short I need the variable journalID on the same Class that
contains the TextArea.
Thanks.
