RE: [flexcoders] Veiwstack reference

[Tracy Spratt]

You can certainly do what you ask.   Is “targetComponent” a valid reference? Are you passing in a reference to “this” when you instantiate the child components? <ViewStack …   <myComponent targetComponent=”{this}”   You could also just do: Application.application.mainStack.selectedIndex = 1;   But then you can only use the child component in a viewstack in the main app scope.  The first wayt lets you have a different component parent.   Another way, preferred by many, is to have your component emit a custom event, and have a listener respond to it.   Tracy From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of christophevond Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 12:40 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Veiwstack reference   I have an application that has a viewstack on the first page and in the children of this viewstack, I would like to have a button that changes the shown child of the viewstack. This is what I was trying before, but it doesn't want to work: [Bindable] public var targetComponent:index; (Where index is the first page) public function ChangeStack():void { targetComponent.mainStack.selectedIndex = 1; } mainStack is the ID of the viewstack on the first page.
