Hi there,
For simple applications you can reference siblings by traversing the dispay list: Application.application.A.aa.X.selectedIndex = 1;. However, since you are using Cairngorm, you can maintain encapsulation by binding the state (selectedIndex) to the ModelLocator. Jesse's going to have a pink kitten if he reads this.
First, create a state variable in the ModelLocator:
public var AaaXselectedIndex : Number;
Then bind the variable to X.selectedIndex in aa:
<TabNavigator id="X" selectedIndex="{ModelLocator.getInstance().AaaXselectedIndex}">
To change X.selectedIndex just set the ModelLocator variable, from a command (preferable) or ab's script:
ModelLocator.getInstance().AaaXselectedIndex = 1;
Because X.selectedIndex is bound to the ModelLocator state variable the selectedIndex will be automatically updated and the view will reflect the change.
