Your custom component should dispatch its events. The parent application which should be listening for them.
Something like this might work: <comp:MyComp itemClicked="popUpWindow(event)"/> Jeff -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Megan Sent: Wednesday, August 23, 2006 1:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Functionality Between Components and the Main Application Hi! I've been trying to figure out how to do this sort of thing, and thought I'd ask before messing with it anymore. I have a toolbar that's in its own component, and it has some buttons on it that will open new windows/popups. What I need to have happen is, when one of the buttons gets clicked, the window pops up inside a container that's on the main application. Right now they show up at the top corner of the toolbar. I gave the VBox in the middle of the main application an ID, but when I try to tell the toolbar to open the window there, it gives me an error because that ID doesn't exist inside the toolbar... I've also tried telling the button to run a function in the main application to open the popup but it tells me that I'm "calling a possibly undefined method through a reference with static type Class". I hope that makes sense. Any ideas?
