Hi Brian,
not directly, but you could solve it this way:
1) Define a MXML component that describes the layout etc.
(MyComponent.mxml)
2) Create your a Mediator (or Helper) class in ActionScript
(MyComponentHelper.as)
3) define a public var view of type MyComponent inside MyComponentHelper
(or use interfaces to make it more generic)
3) instantiate MyComponentHelper inside MyComponent and pass a reference
to MyComponent to it
<-- pseudo code for MyComponent -->
<mx:HBox>
<helper:MyComponentHelper view="{this}" />
<mx:Button id="button" label="Hello"/>
...
</mx:HBox>
4) because view is just a reference to MyComponent you are save to do
view.button.label = "Yo!" from inside MyComponentHelper
